Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the dynamics of technological advancement in the field of medical imaging, distinctly contributing to a significant paradigm shift in healthcare. AI serves as a powerful tool for efficiently processing massive datasets of medical images, thereby deciphering disease characteristics invisible to human perception. AI-powered advances are instrumental in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, fortifying data processing capabilities, and consequently, crafting a more personalized patient treatment approach. However, despite such advancements, the technology has yet to fully answer several queries concerning the effectiveness, dependability, scalability, transparency, and interpretability of AI algorithms. Research targeted at alleviating these uncertainties has brought forth promising avenues. One notable breakthrough is the ability of AI models to accurately discern anomalies in health conditions, which have historically posed significant challenges even for experienced medical professionals.
Despite AI’s promising trajectory in medical imaging, current challenges related to data quality, privacy, interpretability, and regulatory considerations persist in impeding its broad adoption. As such, the primary objective of this research topic is to establish a collaborative platform for imaging researchers, fostering the sharing of knowledge and experiences at the intersection of AI and medical imaging technologies. We encourage research submissions that delve into a thorough examination of AI’s fundamental components, critically evaluate performance metrics, and highlight the practical implications of AI algorithms in the scope of medical imaging. A critical area of focus includes addressing challenges associated with augmenting the interpretability of AI algorithms and making them accessible to healthcare professionals devoid of a computational background. Furthermore, identifying potential sources of bias within AI models and devising strategies to mitigate these biases is paramount. This research ultimately aims to investigate strategies that facilitate the creation of universally adaptable, resilient AI models that can excel across varied healthcare environments, irrespective of resource availability.
To gather further insights into the practical applications and limitations of artificial intelligence methods in medical imaging, we welcome submissions of articles that explore but are not limited to, the following themes:
• Advancements in deep learning techniques applied across diverse imaging modalities, including X-ray Imaging, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound Imaging, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Fluoroscopy, and natural images.
• Crafting and training AI models for interpreting massive medical image datasets.
• Addressing AI bias and proposing strategies for training with limited datasets
• Developing AI models capable of analyzing heterogeneous datasets, composed of images derived from multiple modalities and instruments.
• Making AI models more explainable and user-friendly for healthcare professionals, thereby promoting their widespread adoption.
• Generative models in medical imaging.
• Addressing the implications of AI in healthcare privacy and ethical issues.
