Bücher der Reihe Brain Informatics and Health

This book provides an essential overview of the broad range of functional brain imaging techniques, as well as neuroscientific methods suitable for various scientific tasks in fundamental and clinical neuroscience.

This book provides detailed practical guidelines on how to develop an efficient pathological brain detection system, reflecting the latest advances in the computer-aided diagnosis of structural magnetic resonance brain images.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have witnessed many successes in various disciplines including the healthcare sector. Innovations in intelligent medical systems have revolutionized the way in which healthcare services are provided, ranging from making clinical diagnosis, developing personalized treatment and drugs, assisting patient monitoring, to automating administrative tasks and reducing operational costs. In this book, the authors present key applications in the general area of health care, where AI has made significant successes. From the individual chapters, the readers will be provided with a range of examples to illustrate the wide plethora of application domains utilizing state-of-the-art AI techniques, proving credence to the versatility and effectiveness of an AI approach in health care and medicine. We envisage that this book is ideal for individuals new to the notion of AI in health care, equally, early career academics who wish to further expand on their knowledge in AI in medicine. What will be presented is in no means an exhaustive list of applications, but most definitely a varied one.

This book provides an in-depth study of biomedical image analysis. It reviews and summarizes previous research work in biomedical image analysis and also provides a brief introduction to other computation techniques, such as fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets, clustering algorithm and fast forward quantum optimization algorithm, focusing on how these techniques can be integrated into different phases of the biomedical image analysis. In particular, this book describes novel methods resulting from the fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets, clustering algorithm and fast forward quantum optimization algorithm. It also demonstrates how a new quantum-clustering based model can be successfully applied in the context of clustering the COVID-19 CT scans. Thanks to its easy-to-read style and the clear explanations of the models, the book can be used as a concise yet comprehensive reference guide to biomedical image analysis, and will be valuable not only for graduate students, but also for researchers and professionals working for academic, business and government institutes and medical colleges.
