This book provides a thorough overview of the ongoing evolution in the application of artificial intelligence (AI)
within
healthcare and radiology, enabling readers to gain a deeper insight into the technological background of AI and the
impacts of new and emerging technologies on medical imaging. After an introduction on game changers in radiology,
such as deep learning technology, the technological evolution of AI in computing science and medical image
computing is described, with explanation of basic principles and the types and subtypes of AI. Subsequent sections
address the use of imaging biomarkers, the development and validation of AI applications, and various aspects and
issues relating to the growing role of big data in radiology. Diverse real-life clinical applications of AI are then
outlined
for different body parts, demonstrating their ability to add value to daily radiology practices. The concluding section
focuses on the impact of AI on radiology and the implications for radiologists, for example with respect to training.
Written by radiologists and IT professionals, the book will be of high value for radiologists, medical/clinical
physicists,
IT specialists, and imaging informatics professionals.
