His work in the fields of Mammography, such as Digital mammography, intersects with other areas such as Sensitivity. His Artificial intelligence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Microcalcification, Computer vision and Receiver operating characteristic.

His Pattern recognition research includes themes of Pixel, Iterative reconstruction, Feature and Projection. His work in Computer-aided diagnosis addresses subjects such as Histogram, which are connected to disciplines such as False positive rate, Standard deviation, Cluster analysis and Digital imaging. His research integrates issues of Nuclear medicine and Pathology in his study of Radiology.

His most cited work include:

  • A support vector machine approach for detection of microcalcifications (474 citations)
  • Improving breast cancer diagnosis with computer-aided diagnosis (278 citations)
  • A study on several Machine-learning methods for classification of Malignant and benign clustered microcalcifications (256 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Artificial intelligence, Mammography, Pattern recognition, Computer-aided diagnosis and Computer vision. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Microcalcification, Tomosynthesis and Receiver operating characteristic. His Mammography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Radiology, Medical imaging and CAD.

Many of his studies on Pattern recognition involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Contextual image classification. The various areas that Robert M. Nishikawa examines in his Computer-aided diagnosis study include Image processing, Medical physics, Data mining and Feature. Robert M. Nishikawa usually deals with Digital mammography and limits it to topics linked to Optics and Signal-to-noise ratio.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Artificial intelligence (51.32%)
  • Mammography (44.04%)
  • Pattern recognition (30.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Artificial intelligence (51.32%)
  • Pattern recognition (30.13%)
  • Mammography (44.04%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Robert M. Nishikawa mainly investigates Artificial intelligence, Pattern recognition, Mammography, Breast cancer and Radiology. His Artificial intelligence study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Computer vision. His Pattern recognition research incorporates themes from False positive paradox, Feature and Pathology.

His research on Mammography focuses in particular on Digital mammography. The Breast imaging and Computer aided detection research Robert M. Nishikawa does as part of his general Breast cancer study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Occult cancer, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His work focuses on many connections between Radiology and other disciplines, such as Medical physics, that overlap with his field of interest in False detection, Clinical trial, Imaging science and Radiological weapon.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Automated mammographic breast density estimation using a fully convolutional network. (32 citations)
  • A computational model to generate simulated three-dimensional breast masses. (26 citations)
  • CADe for early detection of breast cancer-current status and why we need to continue to explore new approaches. (25 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Statistics
  • Cancer

His primary areas of investigation include Artificial intelligence, Mammography, Pattern recognition, Computer-aided diagnosis and Radiology. His Artificial intelligence study incorporates themes from Data mining and Computer vision. Digital mammography is the focus of his Mammography research.
