报告摘要：Major advances in computer science and artificial intelligence are beginning to have an impact on radiology. Most dramatically, there has been an explosion of research and commercial interest about the use of "deep learning" in radiology. In this presentation, I will give a brief overview of deep learning technologies. I will demonstrate how deep learning can be applied in radiology image analysis in four aspects: computer aided diagnosis and detection, semantic organ and lesion segmentation, disease monitoring and outcome prediction, and data mining on a Large-Scale Radiology Image Database. I will show examples of current researches conducted at the Radiology department in the National Institutes of Health, demonstrating the performance improvement and new research topics brought by the deep learning techniques. Finally, I will discuss the perspective and challenges in the field.
报告人简介：Jianhua Yao is currently an Associate Scientist in the Radiology and Imaging Science Department at the National Institutes of Health (USA), where he leads a clinical image processing service group since 2002.
