Optimization has become an essential tool in addressing the
limitation of resources and need for better decision-making in the
medical field. Both continuous and discrete mathematical techniques
are playing an increasingly important role in understanding several
fundamental problems in medicine. This volume presents a wide range
of medical applications that can utilize mathematical computing.
Examples include using an algorithm for considering the seed
reconstruction problem in brachytherapy and using
optimization-classification models to assist in the early
prediction, diagnosis and detection of diseases. Discrete
optimization techniques and measures derived from the theory of
nonlinear dynamics, with analysis of multi-electrode
electroencephalographic (EEG) data, assist in predicting impending
epileptic seizures. Mathematics in medicine can also be found in
recent cancer research. Sophisticated mathematical models and
optimization algorithms have been used to generate treatment plans
for radionuclide implant and external beam radiation therapy.
Optimization techniques have also been used to automate the
planning process in Gamma Knife treatment, as well as to address a
variety of medical image registration problems. This work grew out
of a workshop on optimization which was held during the 2005 CIM
Thematic Term on Optimization in Coimbra, Portugal. It provides an
overview of the state-of-the-art in optimization in medicine and
will serve as an excellent reference for researchers in the medical
computing community and for those working in applied mathematics
and optimization."
