Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Medical imaging analysis is a vital part of modern healthcare, helping clinicians to diagnose and monitor a wide range of diseases and conditions. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have enabled the development of powerful tools and techniques for analyzing medical images, with the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research and developments in medical imaging analysis with AI, and to explore the challenges and opportunities in this exciting field.

Topics:

We invite submissions on all aspects of medical imaging analysis with AI, including but not limited to:

  • Radiomics and image-based biomarkers
  • Deep learning for medical image analysis
  • Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems
  • Image segmentation and registration
  • Convolutional neural networks (CNN) for medical image classification and segmentation
  • Multi-modal medical image analysis
  • Medical data mining and analysis
  • Real-time medical imaging analysis
  • Clinical applications of medical imaging analysis with AI

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit original research papers, review articles, or short communications. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer-review by experts in the field. Manuscripts must be prepared according to the journal's guidelines and should be submitted online via the journal's submission system. The deadline for submission is 29 Feb 2024. Accepted papers will be published in the Special Issue of the journal.

The medical sciences are facing a major problem with the auto-detection of disease due to the fast growth in population density. Intelligent systems assist medical professionals in early disease detection and also help to provide consistent treatment that reduces the mortality rate. Skin cancer is considered to be the deadliest and most severe kind of cancer. Medical professionals utilize dermoscopy images to make a manual diagnosis of skin cancer. This method is labor-intensive and time-consuming and demands a considerable level of expertise. Automated detection methods are necessary for the early detection of skin cancer. The occurrence of hair and air bubbles in dermoscopic images affects the diagnosis of skin cancer. This research aims to classify eight different types of skin cancer, namely actinic keratosis (AKs), dermatofibroma (DFa), melanoma (MELa), basal cell carcinoma (BCCa), squamous cell carcinoma (SCCa), melanocytic nevus (MNi), vascular lesion (VASn), and benign keratosis (BKs). In this study, we propose SNC_Net, which integrates features derived from dermoscopic images through deep learning (DL) models and handcrafted (HC) feature extraction methods with the aim of improving the performance of the classifier. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is employed for classification. Dermoscopy images from the publicly accessible ISIC 2019 dataset for skin cancer detection is utilized to train and validate the model. The performance of the proposed model is compared with four baseline models, namely EfficientNetB0 (B1), MobileNetV2 (B2), DenseNet-121 (B3), and ResNet-101 (B4), and six state-of-the-art (SOTA) classifiers. With an accuracy of 97.81%, a precision of 98.31%, a recall of 97.89%, and an F1 score of 98.10%, the proposed model outperformed the SOTA classifiers as well as the four baseline models. Moreover, an Ablation study is also performed on the proposed method to validate its performance. The proposed method therefore assists dermatologists and other medical professionals in early skin cancer detection. Full article

Deep learning is a promising technique for bioelectrical signal analysis, as it can automatically discover hidden features from raw data without substantial domain knowledge. However, training a deep neural network requires a vast amount of labeled samples. Additionally, a well-trained model may be sensitive to the study object, and its performance may deteriorate sharply when transferred to other study objects. We propose a deep multi-task learning approach for bioelectrical signal analysis to address these issues. Explicitly, we define two distinct scenarios, the consistent source-target scenario and the inconsistent source-target scenario based on the motivation and purpose of the tasks. For each scenario, we present methods to decompose the original task and dataset into multiple subtasks and sub-datasets. Correspondingly, we design the generic deep parameter-sharing neural networks to solve the multi-task learning problem and illustrate the details of implementation with one-dimension convolutional neural networks (1D CNN), vanilla recurrent neural networks (RNN), recurrent neural networks with long short-term memory units (LSTM), and recurrent neural networks with gated recurrent units (GRU). In these two scenarios, we conducted extensive experiments on four electrocardiogram (ECG) databases. The results demonstrate the benefits of our approach, showing that our proposed method can improve the accuracy of ECG data analysis (up to 5.2%) in the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. Full article
