How much are machine learning and NMR related in medical imaging?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the relationship between machine learning and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in the context of medical imaging. Participants explore the extent to which machine learning is utilized in this field, particularly regarding its application in algorithms for medical technologies such as NMR, PET, and CT scans.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the relationship between machine learning and NMR in medical imaging, questioning whether machine learning is significantly used or still neglected in this area.
  • Another participant suggests researching "computer assisted diagnosis" to understand the current state of the field, noting that it is a significant area of research with ongoing debates about the reliability of new systems.
  • A participant expresses surprise at the development level of machine learning applications in medical imaging after receiving information about the field.
  • One participant mentions that most researchers in this area are at the PhD level, implying a higher educational requirement for those involved in developing medical imaging technologies.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the extent of machine learning's use in medical imaging, and there are multiple viewpoints regarding the current state and reliability of related technologies.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the clarity of the current applications of machine learning in medical imaging, as well as the educational requirements for positions in this field, which remain somewhat ambiguous.

Hi everyone. By reading stuff on the Internet, I found many times the correlation between machine learning and NMR, or, better, algorithms that are implemented for that kind of technology( The same goes for PET, or CT scans.
The thing I want to ask is, how much do you think that the two things are related? You think that machine learning is used a lot in that kind of research, or is it still a thing that it's somehow neglected in that field? I'm talking esclusively of medicine and medical imaging, not in general.

You might want to search for "computer assisted diagnosis" to get an idea of the state of the field. In general, this is a big area of research in medical imaging. Even basic tasks like atlas-based anatomical segmentation and delineation are just over the past few years coming out in commercial products, and even then there's a lot of debate over how reliable such systems are. So there is definitely a lot of room for improvement, if these are areas you're interested in.

Actually I ve read of it...but I just didn't know how much that sector was developed..Now it seems more clear, thanks :)
You know if their positions for those jobs are for people with master s degree or only for PhD people? I mean, developing medical imaging stuff for that kind of machiner..Like MRI and so on...
 
I think most of the people actively doing research in such areas are at the PhD level.
