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.
