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.
