ABSTRACT

As the complexity and severity of diseases and causal organisms are increasing, evolution, efficiency, and decision-making in diagnosis are also changing. Computer-aided diagnosis techniques in modern diagnostics systems help healthcare experts to understand the different aspects of tests: biochemical or imaging and in decision-making. Nowadays in healthcare systems CAD is considered as a second opinion tool in the interpretation of medical imaging in cancer diagnostics. Early detection and effective treatment not only help by increasing treatment options but also increase the chances of survival of the patient. Recent developments in CAD help in the automated diagnosis of cancer and its classification as benign or malignant. It also helps to reduce human error and misdiagnosis. In this chapter, we are discuss the developments and applications of computer-aided diagnosis with different types of cancer.
