Support Systems for Diagnosis and Surgery Using Intelligent Image Processing

Abstract

Recently, high resolution medical images have become common tools for diagnosis and surgery because the use of the high resolution medical images enables medical doctors to get the information about human tissues which traditional images never obtain. On the contrary, Artificial Intelligence (AI) have achieved great successes in various applications in computer science. Owing to this, AI is introduced to diagnosis using medical images such as the human tissue segmentation and tumor detection from medical images. Recent researches have applied AI to the support system for surgery. In this talk, I present our research projects which have been developing AI-based support systems for diagnosis and surgery using 3D shapes of human tissues.
