Item D-AI-COM: A DICOM Reception Node to Automate the Application of Artificial Intelligence Scripts to Medical Imaging Data(Springer, 2024-05-01) Vázquez-Ingelmo, Andrea; García-Holgado, Alicia; García-Peñalvo, Francisco José; Pérez-Sánchez, Pablo; Sánchez-Puente, Antonio; Vicente-Palacio, Víctor; Dorado-Díaz, Pedro Ignacio; Sánchez, Pedro LuisArtificial Intelligence (AI) has proven to be useful in several fields. The medical domain is one of the fields that benefits from the application of AI methods to automate and ease complex tasks including disease detection, segmentation, assessment of organ functions, etc. However, applying these kinds of methods to the variety of data formats involved in health contexts is not trivial. It is necessary to provide technologies that enable non-expert users to benefit from AI applications. This work presents a platform that acts as a DICOM reception node with the goal of automating the application of AI algorithms to medical imaging data. This platform is set to ease the process applying AI to their DICOM images by making the whole process transparent and straightforward for users without AI-related or programming skills.Item Management and Application of AI to DICOM Image Processing: A Systematic Mapping Literature Review(Springer, 2024-07-15) Fraile-Sanchón, Rubén; Vázquez-Ingelmo, Andrea; García-Peñalvo, Francisco José; García-Holgado, AliciaArtificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to bring unprecedented benefits to humankind. Therefore, it is worth investigating how to maximize these benefits while avoiding potential pitfalls. Given this context, the first task necessary to assess the potential of this approach is to understand the management landscape and the application of AI to DICOM image processing. In this case, the researchers employ a systematic mapping review. This paper presents this process and its main findings. 35 studies have been selected from a total of 154 analyzed. From them, in addition to obtaining a clear view of the application of AI to DICOM images, we can also conclude that pre-trained AI algorithms are used in a higher amount than non-trained algorithms in terms of DICOM image usage.Item Are Textual Recommendations Enough? Guiding Physicians Toward the Design of Machine Learning Pipelines Through a Visual Platform(Springer, 2023-09-05) Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Pérez-Sánchez, P.; Antúnez-Muiños, P.; Sánchez-Puente, A.; Vicente-Palacios, V.; Dorado-Díaz, P. I.; Sánchez, P. L.The prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily lives is often exaggerated by the media, leading to a positive public perception while overlook-ing potential problems. In the field of medicine, it is crucial to educate future health-care professionals on the advantages and disadvantages of AI and to emphasize the importance of creating fair, ethical, and reproducible models. The KoopaML platform was developed to provide an educational and user-friendly interface for inexperienced users to create AI pipelines. This study analyzes the quantitative and interaction data gathered from a usability test involving physicians from the University Hospital of Salamanca, with the aim of identifying new interaction paradigms to improve the platform’s usability. The results shown that the plat-form is difficult to learn for inexperienced users due to its contents related to AI. Following these results, a set of improvements are proposed for the next version of KoopaML, focusing on reducing the interactions needed to create the pipelines.Item Testing and Improvements of KoopaML: A Platform to Ease the Development of Machine Learning Pipelines in the Medical Domain(Springer, 2023-05-01) Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Fraile-Sanchón, R.; Pérez-Sánchez, P.; Antúnez-Muiños, P.; Sánchez-Puente, A.; Vicente-Palacios, V.; Dorado-Díaz, P. I.; Cruz-González, I.; Sánchez, P. L.Machine Learning (ML) applications in complex domains, such as the medical domain, can be highly beneficial, but also hazardous if some concepts are overlooked. In this context, however, health professionals denote expertise in their domain, but they often lack skills in terms of ML. In this sense, to leverage ML applications in the medical domain, it is important to combine both domain expertise and ML-related skills. In previous works, we tackled this challenge in the health context through a visual platform (KoopaML) that enables lay users to build ML pipelines. The present work describes the challenges derived from the first version of the platform and the prototypes for the new features designed to address them. The prototypes have been validated by two experts, obtaining highly valuable feedback.Item Flexible Heuristics for Supporting RecommendationsWithin an AI Platform Aimed at Non-expert Users(Springer, 2023-05-01) Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Andrés-Fraile, E.; Pérez-Sánchez, P.; Antúnez-Muiños, P.; Sánchez-Puente, A.; Vicente-Palacios, V.; Dorado-Díaz, P. I.; Cruz-González, I.; Sánchez, P. L.The use of Machine Learning (ML) to resolve complex tasks has become popular in several contexts. While these approaches are very effective and have many related benefits, they are still very tricky for the general audi-ence. In this sense, expert knowledge is crucial to apply ML algorithms properly and to avoid potential issues. However, in some situations, it is not possible to rely on experts to guide the development of ML pipelines. To tackle this issue, we present an approach to provide customized heuristics and recommendations through a graphical platform to build ML pipelines, namely KoopaML, focused on the medical domain. With this approach, we aim not only at providing an easy way to apply ML for non-expert users, but also at providing a learning experience for them to understand how these methods work.
