Abstract :
Currently, Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) have become very advanced that radiologist can provide very high quality diagnosis. This progressive technology brings radiologists big burden to investigate large amount of high-definition medical images for one patient. It is strongly required to reduce their burden without debasing the quality of imaging diagnosis. We propose a method to generate sounds to support diagnosis in this paper. If sound effects can represent invisible medical image features, it can reduce the diagnosis fatigue.
