Data Driven Approaches on Medical Imaging

This book deals with the recent advancements in computer vision techniques such as active learning, few-shot learning, zero shot learning, explainable and interpretable ML, online learning, AutoML etc. and their applications in medical domain. Moreover, the key challenges which affect the design, development, and performance of medical imaging systems are addressed. In addition, the state-of-the-art medical imaging methodologies for efficient, interpretable, explainable, and practical implementation of computer imaging techniques are discussed. At present, there are no textbook resources that address the medical imaging technologies. There are ongoing and novel research outcomes which would be useful for the development of novel medical imaging technologies/processes/equipment which can improve the current state of the art.

The book particularly focuses on the use of data driven new technologies on medical imaging vision such as Active learning, Online learning, few shot learning, AutoML, segmentation etc.

Dr. Bin Zheng received his PhD degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Delaware in 1993. After working in the Medical Imaging Research Division, Department of Radiology, University of Pittsburgh, for 20 years, he joined faculty of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Oklahoma in 2013. He was a Gerald Tuma Presidential Professor and a Director of Oklahoma Center of Medical Imaging for Translational Cancer Research. He is also a fellow of American Institute for Medicine and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and an editor-in-chief of Journal of X-ray Science and Technology. He works in the field of quantitative medical image feature processing and analysis. His research interest focuses on developing and evaluating (1) new image processing algorithms to detect suspicious diseases (cancer and stroke), (2) image feature based machine learning models to predict disease risk, identify malignant tumors, and assess patient prognosis or treatment efficacy, and (3) interactive computer-aided diagnosis systems using the content-based image retrieval technology to provide radiologists “visual-aided tools” in reading and interpreting medical images. He has co-authored over 210 referred journal papers in medical imaging research field with a current Google Scholar H-index of 54.
