Guest Editorial Artificial Intelligence in Pre-DICOM

The papers in this special section focus on artificial intelligence pre-DICOM medical imaging. AI for medical imaging is applied in three domains: pre-DICOM, pre-processing and clinical applications. Clinical applications mainly cover topics such as disease detection, classification, segmentation, registration. Pre-processing components are mainly designed for facilitating applications using image transformation such as image normalization, noise reduction, bias correction in MR. AI in the pre-DICOM domain is expected to improve imaging workflow, image protocol selection, imaging quality, imaging scanning time before images are converted into DICOM format for radiologists to review. The trends of AI publications in medical imaging have been gradually extended from clinical applications to pre-processing and, to pre-DICOM. The papers in this special section seek to present and highlight the latest development on applying advanced deep learning techniques in pre-DICOM space.
