The book explores the abnormalities in internal human organs using MRI techniques while also featuring case studies that illustrate measures used. In addition, it explores precautionary measures used during MRI based imaging, the selection of appropriate contrast agents, and the selection of the appropriate modality during the image registration. Sections introduce medical imaging, the use of MRI in brain, cardiac, lung and kidney detection, and also discuss both 2D and 3D imaging techniques and various MRI modalities.

This volume will be of interest to researchers, engineers and medical professionals involved in the development and use of MRI systems.

Discusses challenges and issues faced, as well as safety precautions to be followed Features case studies with benchmark MRIs existing in the literature Introduces computer-based assessment (Machine Learning and Deep Learning) of the MRI based on its 2D slices

Deep Learning Models for Medical Imaging explains the concepts of Deep Learning (DL) and its importance in medical imaging and/or healthcare using two different case studies: a) cytology image analysis and b) coronavirus (COVID-19) prediction, screening, and decision-making, using publicly available datasets in their respective experiments. Of many DL models, custom Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), ResNet, InceptionNet and DenseNet are used. The results follow 'with' and 'without' transfer learning (including different optimization solutions), in addition to the use of data augmentation and ensemble networks. DL models for medical imaging are suitable for a wide range of readers starting from early career research scholars, professors/scientists to industrialists. Provides a step-by-step approach to develop deep learning models Presents case studies showing end-to-end implementation (source codes: available upon request)
