DESCRIPTION :
Medical decision-making is a crucial element in medicine and in patients’
healthcare; yet, it is a complex task that is often difficult even for experienced
physicians. Biomedical imaging offers useful information on patients’ medical
conditions and clues to causes of their symptoms and diseases. Thus, biomedical
imaging is indispensable for accurate decision-making in medicine. However,
physicians must interpret a large number of images. This could lead to “information
overload” for physicians, and it could further complicate medical decision-making.
Therefore, computer aids are needed and have become indispensable in physicians’
decision-making such as detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases.
Computational intelligence plays an essential role in computer aids for medical
decision-making, including computer-aided detection and diagnosis, computeraided
surgery and therapy, medical image analysis, automated organ/lesion segmentation,
automated image fusion, and automated image annotation and image
retrieval.
