The need for utilizing image diagnosis has become important because of the recent increase in the number of screening cases in the aging population and the number of images that need to be analyzed in a sophisticated diagnostic imaging environment. We therefore engaged in the developments of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems for assisting the doctors image interpretation in five-year (2004.4-2009.3) robotics advanced medical cluster research & development project in Knowledge cluster Gifu & Ogaki region, Japan. In particular, we have developed three CAD systems for brain MR images, fundus photography, and breast ultrasonography. Some of there CAD systems have already been commercialized and have been reported to afford good results. Herein, we report the latest research results obtained in this succeesful project.
