Special Session Organizers:

Nilanjan Dey, INDIA

Amira S. Ashour, KSA

Dana Balas Timar, ROMANIA

Valentina Emilia Balas, ROMANIA

Aim and Scope:
Recently, the researchers’ intensive focus is attracted to medical image analysis studies. Neural network applications in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) signify the foremost stream of computational intelligence in medical imaging. Moreover, neural networks are capable to optimize the inputs/ outputs relationship via distributed computing, training, and processing. This leads to reliable desired solutions by specifications, and medical diagnosis.
In the medical domain, the relation between accurate diagnosis and treatment can be assessed. Through medical imaging modalities physicians are able to collect/ measure information in the form of signals and/ or images that replicate the anatomical structure as well as the human body function. This field takes compensation of computer progress. In sake of effective diagnosis, computer aided systems become a must to construe and combine the acquired images for the purpose of diagnosis and intervention.
In spite of the success achieved by neural network in the medical domain, constructing multilayer neural networks includes challenging optimization problems.
This session focuses on computational intelligence with neural networks covering medical image segmentation, registration, and edge detection for medical image analysis. In addition, computer-aided detection/ diagnosis with precise coverage on cancer screening, and other applications gives a global view on the variety of neural network applications and their potential for further research and developments.
Consequently, this special session is designed to allow the researchers, designers and developers to publish innovative and state-of-the art algorithms and architectures for medical image analysis based neural network with computational computing techniques.
The aim of this special session is to explore the existing neural network with computational intelligence to develop new efficient algorithms, to discussion of the existing problems/ challenges, and to propose solutions, and to collaborate for promising future research direction in the medical domain analysis based computational computing and machine learning.
