Deep learning models for diagnosing spleen and stomach diseases in smart Chinese medicine with cloud computing

Summary Cloud computing is significantly contributing to the development of smart Chinese medicine. The diagnosis and treatment of spleen and stomach diseases has been arousing great interest in smart Chinese medicine with cloud computing since many persons are suffering from spleen and stomach diseases. Currently, spleen and stomach diseases present some new characteristics with the dramatic changes in natural climate, social environment, and human living habits. Recently, deep learning, together with cloud computing techniques, has successfully used in medical image analysis and therefore it is the most promising model for diagnosing spleen and stomach disease in smart Chinese medicine. In this paper, we present a survey on deep learning models in medical image analysis for computer‐aided diagnosis in modern medicine. Afterwards, we summarize the syndrome types of spleen and stomach diseases and furthermore analyze the causes and pathogenesis for each syndrome. Finally, we discuss the open challenges and research directions of deep learning models applicable to the computer‐aided diagnosis of spleen and stomach diseases, which is expected to contribute to the development of smart Chinese medicine with cloud computing.
