Book review of artificial intelligence in medicine Edited by Lei Xing Maryellen Giger and James Min

摘要

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.
