Summary

In healthcare, medical imaging analysis applied to medical imaging from X-ray, MRI, CT, PET, and fMRI scans, combined with image processing techniques like pre-processing, enhancement, segmentation, registration, restoration, and morphological processing, can significantly aid radiologists, clinicians, and healthcare practitioners in diagnosis, disease progression monitoring, staging, recurrence prediction, survival analysis, and severity assessment.


Medical imaging systems and decision support systems driven by AI and machine learning algorithms can empower clinicians to deliver cost-effective and improved care by providing patient-specific information and integrating evidence-based knowledge, ultimately leading to timelier, well-informed clinical decisions and better healthcare outcomes.


This topical collection focuses on advancements and applications of deep learning and machine learning algorithms in healthcare monitoring systems, clinical decision support systems, and industrial expert decision systems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- Developing robust AI-based predictive models for various medical disorders

- Pattern recognition applications in healthcare systems

- Utilizing MRI, CT, and PET images for improved tumor stage prediction

- Machine and deep learning techniques for predicting survival and disease severity based on radiology and pathology images

- Multiparametric approaches for predicting disease progression in healthcare settings

- Efficient cardiovascular disease prediction using feature extraction and selection techniques

- Implementing profitable industrial applications through pattern recognition algorithms


Authors are invited to submit original research articles, review papers, case studies, and perspectives that address the theme of the topical collection. Submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality and relevance to the scope of the collection.

    Deep Learning-Based Decision Support System for Predicting Pregnancy Risk Levels through Cardiotocograph (CTG) Imaging Analysis

    Ali Hasan Dakheel, Mohammed Raheem Mohammed, Zainab Ali Abd Alhuseen, Wassan Adnan Hashim
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.40, pp. 195-220, 2025, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2025.061622
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Medical Imaging Decision Support Systems Using Deep Learning and Machine Learning Algorithms)
    Abstract The prediction of pregnancy-related hazards must be accurate and timely to safeguard mother and fetal health. This study aims to enhance risk prediction in pregnancy with a novel deep learning model based on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) generator, designed to capture temporal relationships in cardiotocography (CTG) data. This methodology integrates CTG signals with demographic characteristics and utilizes preprocessing techniques such as noise reduction, normalization, and segmentation to create high-quality input for the model. It uses convolutional layers to extract spatial information, followed by LSTM layers to model sequences for superior predictive performance. The overall More >

    Diagnosing Retinal Eye Diseases: A Novel Transfer Learning Approach

    Mohammed Salih Ahmed, Atta Rahman, Yahya Alhabboub, Khalid Alzahrani, Hassan Baragbah, Basel Altaha, Hussein Alkatout, Sardar Asad Ali Biabani, Rashad Ahmed, Aghiad Bakry
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.40, pp. 149-175, 2025, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2025.059080
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Medical Imaging Decision Support Systems Using Deep Learning and Machine Learning Algorithms)
    Abstract This study rigorously evaluates the potential of transfer learning in diagnosing retinal eye diseases using advanced models such as YOLOv8, Xception, ConvNeXtTiny, and VGG16. All models were trained on the esteemed RFMiD dataset, which includes images classified into six critical categories: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), Macular Hole (MH), Diabetic Neuropathy (DN), Optic Disc Changes (ODC), Tesselated Fundus (TSLN), and normal cases. The research emphasizes enhancing model performance by prioritizing recall metrics, a crucial strategy aimed at minimizing false negatives in medical diagnostics. To address the challenge of imbalanced data, we implemented effective preprocessing techniques, including cropping,… More >

    Evaluating the Effectiveness of Graph Convolutional Network for Detection of Healthcare Polypharmacy Side Effects

    Omer Nabeel Dara, Tareq Abed Mohammed, Abdullahi Abdu Ibrahim
    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.39, No.6, pp. 1007-1033, 2024, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2024.058736
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Medical Imaging Decision Support Systems Using Deep Learning and Machine Learning Algorithms)
    Abstract Healthcare polypharmacy is routinely used to treat numerous conditions; however, it often leads to unanticipated bad consequences owing to complicated medication interactions. This paper provides a graph convolutional network (GCN)-based model for identifying adverse effects in polypharmacy by integrating pharmaceutical data from electronic health records (EHR). The GCN framework analyzes the complicated links between drugs to forecast the possibility of harmful drug interactions. Experimental assessments reveal that the proposed GCN model surpasses existing machine learning approaches, reaching an accuracy (ACC) of 91%, an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.88, and an More >
