MSC1113H – Radiomics and Machine Learning in Medical Imaging
Description: This course is designed to provide an understanding of fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) for wide applications in medical imaging. Medical Imaging, which is an important specialty in medicine for diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention of different types of diseases including cancer, is increasingly moving toward quantitative approaches. AI/ML algorithms are playing a key role in quantitative medical imaging analytics for disease diagnosis (detection) and prognosis (prediction). With the help of recent advances in AI/ML and computer vision, novel predictive models are capable of diagnosing a disease with high accuracy and consistency, and predicting clinical outcomes (e.g., response to treatment) with an accuracy, which is beyond existing clinical methods.
MSC1118H – Natural Language Processing for Medicine
Description: This course is designed to provide an understanding of fundamentals of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for wide applications in medicine. Natural Language and text is among the oldest form of data, available in different fields including medicine. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), NLP is in an established stage, applicable to text filtration, classification, clustering, and context generation. In medicine, NLP can be applied to electronic health records for prediction of patient outcomes, augmenting hospital triage system, and early diagnosis of disease. Thus, learning NLP fundamentals is becoming a necessity for healthcare professionals and researchers.
