In particular, we introduce Navigation-based Intelligent Computer Aided Diagnosis, called NavI-CAD, which assists diagnosis of medical images through the navigation of a human body. In the era of "whole-body scanning," it is important to develop CAD(Computer Aided Diagnosis) systems that can automatically detect multiple diseases occurring in several organs. Also it is important to develop a computer-assisted surgery system that use information contained in such medical images. Through the IMI COE project, we have been working on development of NavI-CAD, which fuses computer-aided diagnosis and a new diagnostic method, called navigation diagnosis enabling us to navigate inside a human body. The NavI-CAD system has many functions for assisting diagnostic processes by employing advanced visualization techniques. NavI-CAD has been extended to a system that assists with interventional procedures. In this short paper, we summarize the research results from the viewpoint of intelligent media integration, and outline future research direction.}, pages = {187--194}, publisher = {INTELLIGENT MEDIA INTEGRATION NAGOYA UNIVERSITY / COE}, title = {MEDICAL IMAGE COMPUTING AND INTELLIGENT MEDIA INTEGRATION AT IMI-COE: RESEARCH RESULTS AND FUTURE PROBLEMS}, year = {2006} }
