Despite the significant advancements in the field of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) over the past few decades, there is currently no single comprehensive book dedicated to the development and practical application of CAD systems. To address this gap, Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis in Medical Imaging emerges as a valuable resource that comprehensively covers the latest technical developments and methodologies shaping the development and clinical utility of CAD systems in various imaging modalities, including breast imaging, chest imaging, abdominal imaging, and emerging applications.

After providing a historical overview of CAD, the book is organized into four sections. The first section focuses on CAD technologies in breast imaging, which is currently the most advanced area of CAD application. The second section delves into CAD technologies in chest and abdominal imaging. The third section explores emerging CAD technologies in a wide range of imaging modalities designed to address a diverse array of diseases. The final section examines the current clinical use of CAD systems and their potential role in quantitative image biomarkers and imaging genomics research.

This book serves as a valuable resource for students, CAD system developers, basic scientists, and physician scientists. It provides a comprehensive introduction to fundamental aspects of CAD system development for newcomers to the field. Developers of CAD systems will gain valuable insights into designing new or improved CAD systems. Experienced researchers will stay up-to-date with the latest CAD technologies and their applications.

In conclusion, Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis in Medical Imaging is a timely and comprehensive resource that fills the need for a single book dedicated to the development and practical application of CAD systems in medical imaging. By bringing together existing and emerging CAD approaches, the book serves as a valuable tool for advancing the field and improving the accuracy of cancer and other disease detection and diagnosis.
