Research Interests

Computer-aided diagnosis of lesions in the abdomen, thorax, and heart, and machine learning in medical imaging including ones inspired by the human visual system for image processing and pattern recognition.  The long-term goal of Dr. Suzuki's research is to develop a computer system that diagnoses diseases in medical images as an expert radiologist does to assist non-expert doctors in making diagnoses.  To approach his goal, he believes that the development of sophisticated machine-learning and image-analysis techniques, their theoretical backups, and an understanding of radiologists’ decision-making process and of the human visual system are essential. 

Publications (see the Publications page for details)

Dr. Suzuki has published more than 200 scientific papers (including 80 peer-reviewed journal papers) and more than 70 scientific abstracts in the fields of computer-aided diagnosis, medical image analysis, machine learning, neural networks, computer vision, image processing, and pattern recognition.  He is inventor/co-inventor on approximately 30 patents (including 11 granted patents).  He has an h-index 25 by Google Scholar.
