Abstract: The quality of computer vision systems to detect abnormalities in various medical imaging processes, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography, and computed tomography, has significantly improved as a result of recent developments in the field of deep learning. There is discussion of current techniques and algorithms for identifying, categorizing, and detecting DFU. On the small datasets, a variety of techniques based on traditional machine learning and image processing are utilized to find the DFU. These literary works have kept their datasets and algorithms private. Therefore, the need for end-to-end automated systems that can identify DFU of all grades and stages is critical. The study's goals were to create new CNN-based automatic segmentation techniques to separate surrounding skin from DFU on full foot images because surrounding skin serves as a critical visual cue for evaluating the progression of DFU as well as to create reliable and portable deep learning techniques for localizing DFU that can be applied to mobile devices for remote monitoring. The second goal was to examine the various diabetic foot diseases in accordance with well-known medical categorization schemes. According to a computer vision viewpoint, the authors looked at the various DFU circumstances including site, infection, neuropathy, bacterial infection, area, and depth. Machine learning techniques have been utilized in this study to identify key DFU situations as ischemia and bacterial infection.

Keywords: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); diabetic foot ulcers (DFU); convolutional neural networks; ischemia& machine learning algorithms & dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry
