This volume provides a state-of-the-art survey of artificial neural network applications in biomedical diagnosis, laboratory data analysis and related practical areas. It looks at biomedical applications which involve customising neural network technology to resolve specific difficulties with data processing, and deals with applications relating to particular aspects of clinical practice and laboratory or medically-related analysis. Each chapter is self-contained with regard to the technology used, covering important technical points and implementation issues like the design of user interfaces and hardware/software platforms. Artificial Neural Networks in Biomedicine will be of interest to computer scientists and neural network practitioners who want to extend their knowledge of issues relevant to biomedical applications, developers of clinical computer systems, and medical researchers looking for new methods and computational tools.

Methods based on neural networks are assuming an increasing role in biomedical research. This book presents an introduction to the application of neural networks and related areas of artificial intelligence to biological structure analysis, biomedical images understanding, electrophysiologic signal analysis and other stimulating issues of biomedicine.This book, which will include the latest advances and developments in the field, will be of value to researchers in neural networks and biomedicine.

Following the intense research activIties of the last decade, artificial neural networks have emerged as one of the most promising new technologies for improving the quality of healthcare. Many successful applications of neural networks to biomedical problems have been reported which demonstrate, convincingly, the distinct benefits of neural networks, although many ofthese have only undergone a limited clinical evaluation. Healthcare providers and developers alike have discovered that medicine and healthcare are fertile areas for neural networks: the problems here require expertise and often involve non-trivial pattern recognition tasks - there are genuine difficulties with conventional methods, and data can be plentiful. The intense research activities in medical neural networks, and allied areas of artificial intelligence, have led to a substantial body of knowledge and the introduction of some neural systems into clinical practice. An aim of this book is to provide a coherent framework for some of the most experienced users and developers of medical neural networks in the world to share their knowledge and expertise with readers.

The potential value of artificial neural networks (ANN) as a predictor of malignancy has begun to receive increased recognition. Research and case studies can be found scattered throughout a multitude of journals. Artificial Neural Networks in Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Patient Management brings together the work of top researchers - primaril

This book is a detailed reference on biomedical applications using Deep Learning. Because Deep Learning is an important actor shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence, its specific and innovative solutions for both medical and biomedical are very critical. This book provides a recent view of research works on essential, and advanced topics. The book offers detailed information on the application of Deep Learning for solving biomedical problems. It focuses on different types of data (i.e. raw data, signal-time series, medical images) to enable readers to understand the effectiveness and the potential. It includes topics such as disease diagnosis, image processing perspectives, and even genomics. It takes the reader through different sides of Deep Learning oriented solutions. The specific and innovative solutions covered in this book for both medical and biomedical applications are critical to scientists, researchers, practitioners, professionals, and educations who are working in the context of the topics.

This book is the first overview on Deep Learning (DL) for biomedical data analysis. It surveys the most recent techniques and approaches in this field, with both a broad coverage and enough depth to be of practical use to working professionals. This book offers enough fundamental and technical information on these techniques, approaches and the related problems without overcrowding the reader's head. It presents the results of the latest investigations in the field of DL for biomedical data analysis. The techniques and approaches presented in this book deal with the most important and/or the newest topics encountered in this field. They combine fundamental theory of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and DL with practical applications in Biology and Medicine. Certainly, the list of topics covered in this book is not exhaustive but these topics will shed light on the implications of the presented techniques and approaches on other topics in biomedical data analysis. The book finds a balance between theoretical and practical coverage of a wide range of issues in the field of biomedical data analysis, thanks to DL. The few published books on DL for biomedical data analysis either focus on specific topics or lack technical depth. The chapters presented in this book were selected for quality and relevance. The book also presents experiments that provide qualitative and quantitative overviews in the field of biomedical data analysis. The reader will require some familiarity with AI, ML and DL and will learn about techniques and approaches that deal with the most important and/or the newest topics encountered in the field of DL for biomedical data analysis. He/she will discover both the fundamentals behind DL techniques and approaches, and their applications on biomedical data. This book can also serve as a reference book for graduate courses in Bioinformatics, AI, ML and DL. The book aims not only at professional researchers and practitioners but also graduate students, senior undergraduate students and young researchers. This book will certainly show the way to new techniques and approaches to make new discoveries.
