1 OVERVIEW

The past decade has been a golden age for artificial intelligence (AI), with an explosive amount of research and development. From AlphaGo to self‐driving vehicles and brain–computer interface, transformative changes and bold ideas are sweeping through our everyday lives. One important application area is the field of medicine. In medicine, AI has also dominated scientific conferences in recent years, especially for medical physics as medical physicists have always been technological frontrunners among medical professionals. However, in contrast to the mounting literature on medical AI research, there have been few books systematically addressing the topic. In 2020, Elsevier published a timely new book, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, successfully filling this gap. The book is an epic volume for professional and scientific readers interested in the topic.

This excellent book was edited by three international champions of the field, Dr. Lei Xing of Stanford University, Dr. Maryellen Giger of University of Chicago, and Dr. James Min of Cleerly, Inc. The chapters were contributed by a few dozen known experts in the field, such as Dr. Bradley Erickson, Dr. Ge Wang, Dr. Philippe Lambin, and Dr. Lily Peng. This comprehensive and authoritative book provides a great foundation for anyone interested in researching, developing, or using medical AI technologies.

1概述

过去十年是人工智能（AI）的黄金时代，其研究和开发数量激增。从AlphaGo到自动驾驶车辆以及脑机接口，变革性的变化和大胆的想法席卷了我们的日常生活。一个重要的应用领域是医学领域。在医学领域，人工智能也主导了近年来的科学会议，特别是对于医学物理学，因为医学物理学家一直是医学专业人员中的技术领先者。但是，与有关医学AI研究的文献越来越多相比，很少有书籍系统地解决这一问题。2020年，爱思唯尔及时出版了新书《医学中的人工智能》，成功填补了这一空白。这本书是针对对此主题感兴趣的专业和科学读者的史诗集。

这本出色的书由斯坦福大学的雷星博士，芝加哥大学的Maryellen Giger博士和Cleerly，Inc.的James Min博士三位国际冠军编辑。这些章节由数十位知名专家提供该领域的专家，例如Br​​adley Erickson博士，Ge Wang博士，Philippe Lambin博士和Lily Peng博士。这本全面而权威的书为任何对研究，开发或使用医学AI技术感兴趣的人奠定了坚实的基础。
