This book offers the first comprehensive overview of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies
in decision support systems for diagnosis based on medical images presenting cutting-edge
insights from thirteen leading research groups around the world. Medical imaging offers
essential information on patients' medical condition and clues to causes of their symptoms and
diseases. Modern imaging modalities however also produce a large number of images that
physicians have to accurately interpret. This can lead to an information overload for
physicians and can complicate their decision-making. As such intelligent decision support
systems have become a vital element in medical-image-based diagnosis and treatment. Presenting
