Advanced medical research is
making way for computers in the detection of major faults in the body system.
More than computer analysis, the emphasis is on computer-aided diagnosis which
allows the doctors to take a second opinion about the suspicious structures.
The application of the computer aided diagnosis in medical imaging has been in
screening mammography. This is used for early detection of breast cancer. The
doctors use this imaging technique in addition to human evaluation. Primarily
computer diagnosis is based on highly complex pattern recognition. X-ray images
are scanned for suspicious structures. Normally few thousand images are used to
optimize the algorithm.
• Complex usage of image
diagnosis are used to detect cancer and heart disease
Specialized three dimension computer-aided
diagnosis systems are established in the diagnosis of the lung cancer.
Volumetric dataset with thousands of single images are prepared and analyzed.
Computer aided diagnosis in medical imaging is today capable of detecting round
size cancerous growths. The routine application of diagnosis on chest systems
helps to detect small changes.
This imaging technology is also
capable of detecting small sized growth in the colon. The detection rate of
bump like growth in the colon has been better using this imaging technique than
previous detections. Artery diseases are also easily spotted in angiography
imaging studies. Sophisticated computer aided diagnosis instruments are able to
detect the sound of the blood flow in the heart and can be able to detect heart
defects. By having nuclear medicine the diagnosis of the bones and artery can
be detected from computer aided algorithms.
