Abstract
Deep Neural networks algorithms are recently used to solve problems in medical imaging like no time ever. However, one of the main challenges for training robust and accurate machine learning algorithms, such as Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is to find a large dataset, which is, unfortunately, not available for public usage, or it is not available when it comes to a rare disease. Federated Learning (FL) could be a solution to data lack. It can make training and validation through multicenter datasets possible, without compromising the privacy and data protection. In this paper we summarize, discuss, and present an UpToDate overview of FL for medical image analysis solutions and related approaches.
