Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The monograph, containing interdisciplinary studies on the use of neuro-fuzzy paradigm in medicine and biomedical applications, is structured in three parts and is composed of contributed papers by independent teams of researchers. It creates a bridge between two scientific communities, information technology researchers, on one side and specialists in medicine and biomedical engineering, on the other side, filling a gap that originates in the lack of communication between the two parties. The book brings to the reader contributions by researchers who have been active in the field in the past few years. The list of authors comprises 35 researchers affiliated to outstanding research and academic institutions that cover a very wide geographic area. The monograph addresses a large range of readers, including fuzzy - engineering community, researchers in medicine and biomedical engineering, teachers, doctoral students. Each chapter is provided with an extended list of references, and most of contributed papers contain comprehensive explanation of terminology. At the end of the book, a very rich index of terms is given. A very good idea is having a section that introduces the contributors to the reader, so the papers can be placed in the larger context of their scientific work. We state that the monograph is a major contribution to the dissemination of knowledge in the scientific community; no doubt that we face an editorial event. The book may be regarded as a good acquisition for the reader involved in the approached scientific domains.

Fuzzy and Neuro-Fuzzy Systems in Medicineprovides a thorough review of state-of-the-art techniques and practices, defines and explains relevant problems, as well as provides solutions to these problems.After an introduction, the book progresses from one topic to another - with a linear development from fundamentals to applications.Chapters discuss:
a historical perspective of fuzzy systems technology and neuro-fuzzy systems technology in medicine and biology
the relationship of fuzzy logic to the human brain
analysis and classification of signals using fuzzy, neuro-fuzzy, and wavelet methods
wavelet analysis combined with neuro-fuzzy systems in contouring gated SPECT images of ventricles
a detailed application based on a knowledge-based system that uses fuzzy techniques, multispectral analysis, and image processing algorithms
applications in the field of dentistry
a dedicated system for myocardial ischemia diagnosis
a typical expert system used in intensive care units
designing and tuning fuzzy rules for medical diagnosis
knowledge processing, decision-making, and control strategies combined with control methods in medical equipment
current technological problems and trends in the neural and fuzzy hardware implementation fieldThe well-balanced chapters cover all the major fields in medicine and biomedical engineering, including imaging, prosthetics, psychology, medical equipment, diagnosis, and treatment.
