Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in computer vision and image processing, particularly the evolution of deep learning models, have allowed us to solve many problems considered unsolvable just two decades ago. Medicine has swiftly embraced these breakthroughs, with their adoption being widespread.
One of the most prominent applications is in radiology, where computer vision has demonstrated its ability to detect disease with remarkable accuracy by examining X-rays, CT scans and MRIs. Image processing assists pathologists in analyzing tissue samples, dermatologists in diagnosing skin cancer, and ophthalmologists in fundus examinations and retinal scans. Beyond diagnosis, computer vision contributes to the remote monitoring of patients. The ethical dimensions and regulatory frameworks surrounding these technologies are evolving in parallel with their rapid integration into healthcare systems.
This Special Issue aims to attract manuscripts at the intersection of healthcare and technology, emphasizing the pivotal role that computer vision and image processing play in the ongoing transformation of medical practices.
