Explainable AI for Transparent and Trustworthy Medical Decision Support equips readers with a comprehensive and timely resource that presents the principles, methodologies, and real-world applications of explainable AI (XAI) within the medical context. Covering a wide range of use cases-from radiology and pathology to genomics and clinical decision support systems-the book provides in-depth discussions on how XAI techniques can enhance interpretability, improve clinician trust, meet regulatory requirements, and ultimately lead to better patient outcomes. The book demystifies the workings of machine learning models and highlights techniques that make them interpretable.It is designed to empower not only AI researchers and developers but also healthcare administrators and policymakers with the knowledge needed to evaluate, adopt, and trust AI solutions in critical medical applications. The book's authors bring together theory, implementation strategies, ethical implications, and case studies under one cover, offering a multidisciplinary perspective that aligns computer science with medical practice and healthcare policy.Presents detailed coverage of XAI methods such as SHAP, LIME, and Grad-CAM applied to medical dataProvides numerous case studies in diagnostics, ICU prediction, and radiology using explainable modelsIncludes discussions on ethics, bias, and regulatory frameworks such as GDPR and HIPAA

Blockchain Technology in Water Management and New Energy Economy explores the transformative role of blockchain in addressing two of the most pressing global challenges: efficient water resource management and the transition to a sustainable energy future. As climate change, population growth, and urbanization exert increasing pressure on natural resources, traditional systems for managing water and energy are proving inadequate. This book presents blockchain as a powerful enabler of transparency, decentralization, and trust in resource governance, offering innovative solutions that can reshape these critical sectors. The book is divided into two major sections. The first focuses on water management, covering how blockchain can enhance monitoring, prevent water theft, support real-time quality assessments, and enable equitable distribution through smart contracts. It examines case studies where decentralized ledger technology has improved water conservation, optimized irrigation systems in agriculture, and facilitated peer-to-peer water trading.The second section delves into the new energy economy, highlighting blockchain’s potential in supporting renewable energy integration, smart grids, decentralized energy markets, and carbon credit tracking. It discusses how blockchain can empower consumers to become "prosumers" — both producing and consuming energy — while maintaining secure and traceable transactions. Additionally, the book explores cross-cutting themes such as data privacy, regulatory challenges, scalability, and the socio-economic impact of blockchain adoption. Through real-world examples, technical insights, and forward-looking perspectives, this book provides a comprehensive guide for researchers, policy makers, engineers, and sustainability advocates seeking to understand and apply blockchain technology for a greener and more resource-efficient future.

The goal of this book is to facilitate and stimulate cross-disciplinary research in the emerging paradigm of Medical Imaging. Especially this book is to focus on analysing and articulating proven and potential security measures to tightly secure Medical Image applications and services, which are being hosted and delivered through cloud infrastructures and platforms. This book will illustrate the prominent advancements in image processing and how intelligent image-processing techniques can be developed and deployed in the industrial market and for academicians. The readers will get to know all the right and relevant details to be empowered to successfully contribute to their personal and professional growth. The main focus of this book is to bring all the related technologies, novel findings, and managerial applications of Medical Imaging on a single platform to provide great readability, easy understanding, and smooth adaptability of various basic and advanced concepts to Researchers in Medical Engineers, Machine Learning and Data Analysis.
