Neuro-oncology broadly encompasses life-threatening brain and spinal cord malignancies, including primary lesions and lesions metastasizing to the central nervous system. It is well suited for diagnosis, classification, and prognosis as well as assessing treatment response. Radiomics and Radiogenomics (R-n-R) have become two central pillars in precision medicine for neuro-oncology.Radiomics is an approach to medical imaging used to extract many quantitative imaging features using different data characterization algorithms, while Radiogenomics, which has recently emerged as a novel mechanism in neuro-oncology research, focuses on the relationship of imaging phenotype and genetics of cancer. Due to the exponential progress of different computational algorithms, AI methods are composed to advance the precision of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in neuro-oncology.The field of radiomics has been and definitely will remain at the lead of this emerging discipline due to its efficiency in the field of neuro-oncology. Several AI approaches applied to conventional and advanced medical imaging data from the perspective of radiomics are very efficient for tasks such as survival prediction, heterogeneity analysis of cancer, pseudo progression analysis, and infiltrating tumors. Radiogenomics advances our understanding and knowledge of cancer biology, letting noninvasive sampling of the molecular atmosphere with high spatial resolution along with a systems-level understanding of causal heterogeneous molecular and cellular processes. These AI-based R-n-R tools have the potential to stratify patients into more precise initial diagnostic and therapeutic pathways and permit better dynamic treatment monitoring in this period of personalized medicine. While extremely promising, the clinical acceptance of R-n-R methods and approaches will primarily hinge on their resilience to non-standardization across imaging protocols and their capability to show reproducibility across large multi-institutional cohorts.Radiomics and Radiogenomics in Neuro-Oncology: An Artificial Intelligence Paradigm provides readers with a broad and detailed framework for R-n-R approaches with AI in neuro-oncology, the description of cancer biology and genomics study of cancer, and the methods usually implemented for analyzing. Readers will also learn about the current solutions R-n-R can offer for personalized treatments of patients, limitations, and prospects. There is comprehensive coverage of information based on radiomics, radiogenomics, cancer biology, and medical image analysis viewpoints on neuro-oncology, so this in-depth coverage is divided into two Volumes.Volume 1: Radiogenomics Flow Using Artificial Intelligence provides coverage of genomics and molecular study of brain cancer, medical imaging modalities and analysis in neuro-oncology, and prognostic and predictive models using radiomics.Volume 2: Genetics and Clinical Applications provides coverage of imaging signatures for brain cancer molecular characteristics, clinical applications of R-n-R in neuro-oncology, and Machine Learning and Deep Learning AI approaches for R-n-R in neuro-oncology.

Before the modern age of medicine, the chance of surviving a terminal disease such as cancer was minimal at best. After embracing the age of computer-aided medical analysis technologies, however, detecting and preventing individuals from contracting a variety of life-threatening diseases has led to a greater survival percentage and increased the development of algorithmic technologies in healthcare. Deep Learning Applications in Medical Imaging is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the application of generating pictorial depictions of the interior of a body for medical intervention and clinical analysis. While highlighting topics such as artificial neural networks, disease prediction, and healthcare analysis, this publication explores image acquisition and pattern recognition as well as the methods of treatment and care. This book is ideally designed for diagnosticians, medical imaging specialists, healthcare professionals, physicians, medical researchers, academicians, and students.

The processing of medical images in a reasonable timeframe and with high definition is very challenging. This volume helps to meet that challenge by presenting a thorough overview of medical imaging modalities, its processing, high-performance computing, and the need to embed parallelism in medical image processing techniques to achieve efficient and fast results. With contributions from researchers from prestigious laboratories and educational institutions, High-Performance Medical Image Processing provides important information on medical image processing techniques, parallel computing techniques, and embedding parallelism in different image processing techniques. A comprehensive review of parallel algorithms in medical image processing problems is a key feature of this book. The volume presents the relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area and provides detailed descriptions about the diverse high-performance techniques. Topics discussed include parallel computing, multicore architectures and their applications in image processing, machine learning applications, conventional and advanced magnetic resonance imaging methods, hyperspectral image processing, algorithms for segmenting 2D slices for 3D viewing, and more. Case studies, such as on the detection of cancer tumors, expound on the information presented. Key features: Provides descriptions of different medical imaging modalities and their applications Discusses the basics and advanced aspects of parallel computing with different multicore architectures Expounds on the need for embedding data and task parallelism in different medical image processing techniques Presents helpful examples and case studies of the discussed methods This book will be valuable for professionals, researchers, and students working in the field of healthcare engineering, medical imaging technology, applications in machine and deep learning, and more. It is also appropriate for courses in computer engineering, biomedical engineering and electrical engineering based on artificial intelligence, parallel computing, high performance computing, and machine learning and its applications in medical imaging.

The book is oriented towards undergraduates science and engineering students; postgraduates and researchers pursuing the field of microbiology, biotechnology, chemical - biochemical engineering and pharmacy. Various applications of microorganisms have been covered broadly and have been appropriately reflected in depth in 12 different chapters. The book begins with an insight to the diverse niche of microorganisms which have been explored and exploited in development of various biotechnological products and green processes. Further, how these microorganisms have been genetically modified to improve the desired traits for achieving optimal production of microbially derived products is discussed in the second chapter. Major route of production of microbially derived products and processes is through fermentation technology and therefore due emphasis on different aspects of fermentation technology has been given in the subsequent chapter. The development and deployment of biopesticides and biofertilizers which find tremendous application have been separately discussed under agricultural applications. Application of microbes for the removal of pollutants, recovery of metals and oils has also been discussed under environmental applications. The role of microbial systems in development of fermented foods and beverages have also been discussed in Chapter 6. The application of microbes in production of commodity chemicals and fine chemicals has also been discussed in separate chapters. A chapter has been dedicated to the tremendous applications of microbially produced enzymes in different industrial sectors. Another unique facet of this book is explaining the different methods by which desired traits of microorganisms have been improved for their efficacious and economical exploitation in the industry. A chapter is dedicated to exploitation of microorganisms in development of vaccines for human and veterinary use. Finally, the last chapter discusses the role of immobilization in optimization of industrial processes and development of microbial biosensors for industrial applications. Thus, this book is a holistic approach providing information on the present applications of microorganisms.
