Deep Medical Image Computing in Preventive and Precision Medicine

Deep learning has a game-changing potential to improve the state of preventative and precision medicine within medical image computing. Here, we will first overview preventative and precision medicine and field of deep learning. Afterward, we will share our perspective on recent research and development activities in both areas and point out some existing achievements, positive indications, limitations, and near future opportunities and impediments. To flesh out our viewpoints, we draw from examples of our most recent work, which largely stem from radiologic images, but we encourage readers to consult some other recent reviews, which include many references that space did not allow us to include. We also assume the reader is broadly familiar with machine learning technologies.
