What are some key areas of focus at ISBI related to Cancer?
Several key areas in cancer research are highlighted at ISBI:
1. Early Detection and Diagnosis: Techniques such as machine learning and deep learning are discussed for their ability to identify cancerous cells and tissues at early stages, significantly improving patient outcomes. 2. Image-Guided Therapy: Advances in MRI, CT, and PET imaging are presented, which aid in precisely targeting cancerous tissues while sparing healthy ones. 3. Biomarker Identification: Research on identifying and validating biomarkers through imaging techniques, which can help in the prognosis and monitoring of cancer. 4. Quantitative Imaging: Methods for quantifying tumor size, shape, and texture, which are crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of treatments. 5. Radiomics: The extraction of large amounts of features from medical images using data-characterization algorithms, which can predict disease progression and treatment response.
