This edited book focuses on the application of AI and data analytics within medical imaging with contributions focussing on general radiography, cross-sectional imaging, and breast imaging.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Medical Imaging leverages the expertise of key practitioners, academics, and researchers who are recognised leaders in their respective fields. The chapters cover essential topics, including imaging modalities, radiotherapy, and future recommendations. The editors incorporate insights from recent publications and clinical practice, addressing how emerging technologies should be managed, implemented, and adapted in healthcare settings. Each chapter maintains a patient-centred focus while connecting to key literature in the field.
This book acts as a cornerstone for undergraduate students, but importantly signposts to other key texts within the field of medical imaging. Further, academics will also find this text useful as it aims to enrich scholarly learning, teaching, and assessment in healthcare programmes nationally and internationally.
Christopher Hayre is an Associate Professor at Monash University, Australia. He holds an Adjunct Professor position with RMIT University, Australia and Fiji National University. He has published on a range of topics involving qualitative and quantitative papers and brought together several books in the field of medical imaging, health research, technology, and ethnography. His work has influence policy in the United Kingdom and was recently citied in the top 20 (11/20) of most prolific researchers in professional radiography journals in a ten-year period.
Rob Davidson retired from the University of Canberra (UC) in February 2020. He was honoured by UC on his retirement as an Emeritus Professor and is also an Adjunct Research Professor at Fiji National University. Prof. Davidson's research focus is on dose/image quality in planar radiography and CT and digital image processing in medical imaging. He is part of an international team looking at new imaging methods for improved detection of prostate cancer. He has been a Chief Investigator in multiple research grants; has over 70 peer reviewed publications; authored a book on mammography physic including a chapter on artificial intelligence in mammography; has authored/co-authored six book chapters; been the keynote speaker at multiple international conferences; supervised/co-supervised approximately 20 PhD and Masters by Research students; and examined multiple higher degree by research theses.
