Synopsis:
Artificial Intelligence for Medicine: An Applied Reference for Methods and Applications introduces readers to the methodology and AI/ML algorithms as well as cutting-edge applications to medicine, such as cancer, precision medicine, critical care, personalized medicine, telemedicine, drug discovery, molecular characterization, and patient mental health. Research in medicine and tailored clinical treatment are being quickly transformed by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The content in this book is tailored to the reader's needs in terms of both type and fundamentals. It covers the current ethical issues and potential developments in this field.
This book will be beneficial for academics, professionals in the IT industry, educators, students, and anyone else involved in the use and development of AI in the medical field.
- Covers the basic concepts of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, methods and practices, and advanced topics and applications to clinical and precision medicine
- Presents readers with an understanding of how AI is revolutionizing medicine by demonstrating the applications of computational intelligence to the field, along with an awareness of how AI can improve upon traditional medical structures
- Provides researchers, practitioners, and project stakeholders with a complete guide for applying AI techniques in their projects and solutions
