Hyderabad: The Institution of Engineers (India) (IEI) Telangana State Centre organised the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day-2020 on Sunday through 'Zoom Cloud Meeting APP.' Speaker Dr K M M Rao, Deputy Director (Retd.) ISRO, Adjunct Faculty, BITS-PILANI. The topic was "Image Processing for Healthcare and Challenges-Advances in Communications, High Speed Computers, Intelligent Software".
Dr Rao presented his power point presentation Three major forces influencing the pattern of healthcare delivery: New technologies lead to more patient-friendly treatment methods, new treatment methods result in minimally invasive procedures, with less hospitalization and faster recovery, social factors include earlier return to work, containment of direct and indirect costs and as a consequence, an increased demand for the new treatment methods.
The photon sensing role of the eye allows optical access to the retina over a wide band of wavelengths. In view of this natural phenomena, Image processing and hyper-spectral or multi-spectral imaging techniques, greatly help diagnosing various eye diseases - like Glaucoma, Age related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy etc.,
Rao said another area of image processing in healthcare is early detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer cases have been raising globally from last few decades.
Early stage detection of breast cancer is very important to decrease the mortality rate. Image guided radiation and image guided surgery are key areas of research in medical image processing.
Keyhole surgery and robotic surgery are taking important role in healthcare, giving advantage to patients for faster recovery and early return to work.
The Internet of medical things (IoMT) is another application for medical and health related purposes, data collection and analysis for research, and patient monitoring.
