Artificial Intelligence Medicine: Technical Basis and Clinical Applications presents a comprehensive overview of the field, ranging from its history and technical foundations, to specific clinical applications and finally to prospects. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expanding across all domains at a breakneck speed. Medicine, with the availability of large multidimensional datasets, lends itself to strong potential advancement with the appropriate harnessing of AI. The integration of AI can occur throughout the continuum of medicine: from basic laboratory discovery to clinical application and healthcare delivery. Integrating AI within medicine has been met with both excitement and scepticism. By understanding how AI works, and developing an appreciation for both limitations and strengths, clinicians can harness its computational power to streamline workflow and improve patient care. It also provides the opportunity to improve upon research methodologies beyond what is currently available using traditional statistical approaches. On the other hand, computers scientists and data analysts can provide solutions, but often lack easy access to clinical insight that may help focus their efforts. This book provides vital background knowledge to help bring these two groups together, and to engage in more streamlined dialogue to yield productive collaborative solutions in the field of medicine.
"Packed full of latest developments and expert discussions, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine covers a wide range of general and specialty medical AI topics. The discussed medical AI applications are fueled with a vast range of medical big data such as imaging, video, text, audio, genomics, demographics, and laboratory measurements, and these include both standard medical data and those mass collected from mobile devices. In addition to covering the technical basis and computing algorithms, the book also details the unique success and challenges in each clinical area ranging from specific medical problems, different health specialties, to global epidemic monitoring and control. The book also folds in the regulatory and industry perspectives as well as experts’ outlook of the future of medical AI. Compared with similar books on the market, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine is uniquely suited as a foundation reading for anyone interested in working with AI in medicine. Unlike single‐author books such as Deep Medicine, Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, and Machine Learning and AI for Healthcare that were written to introduce the medical AI topic to and engage a general discussion with lay audience, this book is a comprehensive, scientific, and technical volume contributed by a large team of expert authors for professional and scientific audience. Compared with other relevant technical books such as Big Data in Radiation Oncology, Radiomics and Radiogenomics, and Machine Learning in Radiation Oncology, this book goes beyond radiation oncology and medical physics to comprehensively cover the wide field of medicine. For medical physics readers, the book not only touches on the applications familiar to us but also offers valuable inspirations from those others that we may not usually encounter in our specialty. The wide range of applications and topics addressed by the book could help readers from any field to frame a global perspective on AI in medicine.The field of AI is rapidly evolving, making any paper publication difficult to encompass this ever‐changing body of knowledge. Released in September 2020, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine provides the best available comprehensive and fundamental volume on the topic. The book highlights a current dichotomy: despite the enormous promise AI holds in medicine, it has yet to show revolutionary clinical benefits, indicating that we may still be at the dawn of a new AI age in medicine. Written by a large team of influential editors and authors, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine undoubtedly provides a great resource for anyone interested in playing a part in this exciting, upcoming new age." --Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics
