Synopsis

Medical imaging is an indispensable tool for modern healthcare. Machine leaning plays an essential role in the medical imaging field, with applications including medical image analysis, computer-aided diagnosis, organ/lesion segmentation, image fusion, image-guided therapy, and image annotation and image retrieval.

Machine Learning in Computer-Aided Diagnosis: Medical Imaging Intelligence and Analysis provides a comprehensive overview of machine learning research and technology in medical decision-making based on medical images. This book covers major technical advancements and research findings in the field of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD). As it demonstrates the practical applications of CAD, this book is a useful reference for professors in engineering and medical schools, students in engineering and applied-science, medical students, medical engineers, researchers in industry, academia, and health science, radiologists, cardiologists, surgeons, and healthcare professionals.

Review:

Machine learning is the core theme of most CAD methodologies. This book covers the principles and techniques of machine learning as applied to specific CAD applications in a variety of diseases and body regions, and for different imaging modalities. Twenty leading research groups in the field contributed chapters to this book covering applications in breast, lung, brain, abdomen, and whole-body imaging. This book is an excellent source of the state-of-the-art accomplishments in machine learning and CAD in one and readily accessible form. Teachers, students, practicing engineers, physicians, imaging scientists, and technologists who intend to learn about this extremely important and revolutionary area in medicine may all benefit from the wealth of information contained in this compendium. --Jayaram K.
