Special Session on Medical Image Analytics

Scope

With the help of technology, mankind has the amazing ability to process vast amounts of data and information to assist in the decision-making process. With new disruptive technology, trillions of sources of medical data have flooded into cloud computing and therefore require analytical processes to produce valuable diagnostic information. Images have been collected from a variety of sensors carrying a vast amount of valuable information for the diagnosis processes. Therefore, Medical Image Analytics is a very significant research area to be strengthened in this new current era of Big Data. It will improve the healthcare industry by providing reliable information. Image analysis in general and specifically for medical purposes, has historically been focused on single-channel images. However, the current application requires colour and volume as features to analyse medical images by enhancing the visualization of certain significant signs of diseases. With emerging technologies and the expansion of new equipment in healthcare industries, the sources of medical images become significant research. Medical Analytics is very important to improve the quality of living with artificial intelligent approaches. Therefore, research in this area is growing significantly and involves innovation in various aspects from medical data acquisition, pre-processing, medical image segmentation, medical image analysis, image reasoning for diagnostics, and related application.
