One Line Description
Empower your clinical practice to lead the future of vision science with this guide to mastering generative AI strategies that transform complex imaging data into high-precision, ethical diagnostic solutions.

Audience
Research scholars, computer engineers, ophthamologists and eyecare professionals leveraging generative AI to deliver better patient outcomes and transform the future of vision care.

Description
Generative AI is a game-changer for both artificial intelligence and healthcare, especially in the field of vision science. As Ophthalmologists and other eye care professionals work towards increasing the accuracy of diagnoses and treatment outcomes to improve patient-centered service delivery, generative AI is showing emerging potential as a tool to accomplish these goals. Generative AI, particularly generative adversarial networks, shows potential as a solution for image enhancement, data management, and personalized patient care. This cross-disciplinary work addresses not only the technical challenges in building effective AI systems but also the ethical considerations of using these technologies in the clinical scenario. This two-volume set solves the problem of understanding how advanced AI, specifically generative AI, can be applied effectively in ophthalmology to improve diagnostics, treatment, and accessibility. It addresses the knowledge gap between AI researchers and healthcare professionals by breaking down complex AI concepts into easy-to-understand language, providing practical examples of real-world applications, and guiding readers on the ethical and regulatory challenges of integrating AI into clinical practice.
