The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology in medical data analysis has led to the concept of radiomics. This book introduces the essential and latest technologies in radiomics, such as imaging segmentation, quantitative imaging feature extraction, and machine learning methods for model construction and performance evaluation, providing invaluable guidance for the researcher entering the field.

It fully describes three key aspects of radiomic clinical practice: precision diagnosis, the therapeutic effect, and prognostic evaluation, which make radiomics a powerful tool in the clinical setting.

This book is a very useful resource for scientists and computer engineers in machine learning and medical image analysis, scientists focusing on antineoplastic drugs, and radiologists, pathologists, oncologists, as well as surgeons wanting to understand radiomics and its potential in clinical practice.

An introduction to the concepts of radiomics In-depth presentation of the core technologies and methods Summary of current radiomics research, perspective on the future of radiomics and the challenges ahead An introduction to several platforms that are planned to be built: cooperation, data sharing, software, and application platforms

This monograph deals with the economic analysis and mathematical modeling of the diffusion of interorganizational information systems and networks. One result is that the models have to consider explicitly the various objectives and dependencies between system owner and system user. The proposed models are based on diffusion theory, network economy as well as on a methodical paradigm that closely relates to engineering sciences and has become known as gray modeling. All models are first theoretically developed and subsequently exemplified by suited numerical examples. The results will help economists and system analysts to identify the success factors for the growth of network products and to propose concrete solutions for their introduction.

This book presents the topology optimization theory for laminar flows with low and moderate Reynolds numbers, based on the density method and level-set method, respectively. The density-method-based theory offers efficient convergence, while the level-set-method-based theory can provide anaccurate mathematical expression of the structural boundary. Unsteady, body-force-driven and two-phase properties are basic characteristics of the laminar flows. The book discusses these properties, which are typical of microfluidics and one of the research hotspots in the area of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), providing an efficient inverse design approach for microfluidic structures. To demonstrate the applications of this topology optimization theory in the context of microfluidics, it also investigates inverse design for the micromixer, microvalve and micropump, which are key elements in lab-on-chip devices.

Objective Information Theory (OIT) is proposed to represent and compute the information in a large-scale complex information system with big data in this monograph.
