The advances in deep learning algorithms, exponential computing power, and availability of digital patient data like never before have led to the wave of interest and investment in artificial intelligence in health care. No radiology conference is complete without a substantial dedication to AI. Many radiology departments are keen to get involved but are unsure of where and how to begin. This short article provides a simple road map to aid departments to get involved with the technology, demystify key concepts, and pique an interest in the field. We have broken down the journey into seven steps; problem, team, data, kit, neural network, validation, and governance.

Recent advances in deep learning models have shown promising potential in object removal, which is the task of replacing undesired objects with appropriate pixel values using known context. Object removal-based deep learning can commonly be solved by modeling it as the Img2Img (image to image) translation or Inpainting. Instead of dealing with a large context, this paper aims at a specific application of object removal, that is, erasing braces trace out of an image having teeth with braces (called braces2teeth problem). We solved the problem by three methods corresponding to different datasets. Firstly, we use the CycleGAN model to deal with the problem that paired training data is not available. In the second case, we try to create pseudo-paired data to train the Pix2Pix model. In the last case, we utilize GraphCut combining generative inpainting model to build a user-interactive tool that can improve the result in case the user is not satisfied with previous results. To our best knowledge, this study is one of the first attempts to take the braces2teeth problem into account by using deep learning techniques and it can be applied in various fields, from health care to entertainment.

Today, deep learning (DL) algorithms are intertwined with our daily life. This subdomain of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is used to unlock your phone by only detecting your face, find the best path from work to your home or vice versa, or detect anomalies in the human cells taken for lab tests. Yet, although AI technology is helping in many fields, whether it has done so in the medical field is debatable. DL lacks reasoning; it is unable to determine the causes of events. This is especially crucial when it comes to the health care sector. At this point, computers cannot help physicians with their duties. On the contrary, they are the cause of burnout in more than half of physicians in United States. One of the causes of burnout repeatedly pointed out by physicians is the digitalization of medicine. This chapter presents some of the AI approaches that could help physicians. It also discusses the current limitations and dangers inherent to many of today’s state-of-the-art AI systems. The authors provide some ideas about the future of AI in pain medicine and psychiatry.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its correlates, such as machine and deep learning, are changing health care, where complex matters such as comoribidity call for dynamic decision-making. Yet, some people argue for extreme caution, referring to AI and its correlates as a black box. This brief article uses philosophy and science to address the black box argument about knowledge as a myth, concluding that this argument is misleading as it ignores a fundamental tenet of science, i.e., that no empirical knowledge is certain, and that scientific facts – as well as methods – often change. Instead, control of the technology of AI and its correlates has to be addressed to mitigate such unexpected negative consequences.

Since the 1980s, deep learning and biomedical data have been coevolving and feeding each other. The breadth, complexity, and rapidly expanding size of biomedical data have stimulated the development of novel deep learning methods, and application of these methods to biomedical data have led to scientific discoveries and practical solutions. This overview provides technical and historical pointers to the field, and surveys current applications of deep learning to biomedical data organized around five subareas, roughly of increasing spatial scale: chemoinformatics, proteomics, genomics and transcriptomics, biomedical imaging, and health care. The black box problem of deep learning methods is also briefly discussed.

In today’s digital world healthcare is one core area of the medical domain. A healthcare system is required to analyze a large amount of patient data which helps to derive insights and assist the prediction of diseases. This system should be intelligent in order to predict a health condition by analyzing a patient’s lifestyle, physical health records and social activities. The health recommender system (HRS) is becoming an important platform for healthcare services. In this context, health intelligent systems have become indispensable tools in decision making processes in the healthcare sector. Their main objective is to ensure the availability of the valuable information at the right time by ensuring information quality, trustworthiness, authentication and privacy concerns. As people use social networks to understand their health condition, so the health recommender system is very important to derive outcomes such as recommending diagnoses, health insurance, clinical pathway-based treatment methods and alternative medicines based on the patient’s health profile. Recent research which targets the utilization of large volumes of medical data while combining multimodal data from disparate sources is discussed which reduces the workload and cost in health care. In the healthcare sector, big data analytics using recommender systems have an important role in terms of decision-making processes with respect to a patient’s health. This paper gives a proposed intelligent HRS using Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM)-Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) deep learning method, which provides an insight into how big data analytics can be used for the implementation of an effective health recommender engine, and illustrates an opportunity for the health care industry to transition from a traditional scenario to a more personalized paradigm in a tele-health environment. By considering Root Square Mean Error (RSME) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) values, the proposed deep learning method (RBM-CNN) presents fewer errors compared to other approaches.
