Medical Image Computing (MIC): We are living in interesting times
The practice of medicine is undergoing an industrialization process and imaging is evolving at a rapid pace with new modalities and acquisition methods being added at an ever increasing pace. In parallel, results from basic research in the fields of genetics and immunology are beginning to translate into patient care. Driven by these disruptive changes, the importance of MIC is increasing rapidly. Image Informatics, Machine Learning, Radiomics and quantitative imaging are all contributing to the portfolio of tools and technologies being deployed to address the new challenges.
