INTRODUCTION
Medical imaging is one of the
biggest blessings of science and technology to serve the humanity. The
remarkable developments in the field of medical imaging is intensified by the
advancement in image processing, pattern recognition and machine intelligence
techniques and they have strengthened the recent advancement of medical
diagnostics. The key benefits of medical imaging is non-invasive diagnosis.
Medical imaging can be used for early detection, where the diseases could be
detected at an early stage and thereby the chance of revival is increased for
the patients and that comes with less pain and expenditure. Over the years
people from various disciplines including doctors, engineers and scientists
have strengthened this niche area of medical imaging. Though it’s an exciting
area of research, the role of south-east Asian countries and African nations
are very insignificant in this domain. However, to make the affordable solution
available and acceptable to the masses the active participation of the local researchers
is necessary in this region. One of the primary challenges of this domain is
that it needs a multi-disciplinary approach. This workshop brings the key
personalities/participants to share with you their experiences and recent
advances in this field. It provides you the recent trend of industry needs and
research and creates an opportunity to develop the local as well as global
network. Department of Electronics & Electrical Communication Engineering
and School of Medical Science & Technology, IIT Kharagpur being actively
involved in multidisciplinary research and teaching in medical imaging and
instrumentation, image processing and pattern analysis, provides the venue for
this workshop.
