Medical Image Analysis Methods Softcover: 500+ pages
This book presents state-of-the-art applications in the field of medical image analysis.
Its chapters reflect the major methods, techniques, and approaches relevant to the enhancement of visually perceived images or to quantitative detection or decision aids. To successfully detect and diagnose disease, it is vital for medical diagnosticians to properly apply the latest medical imaging technologies. It is a worrisome reality that due to either the nature or volume of some of the images provided, early or obscured signs of disease can go undetected or be misdiagnosed. To combat these inaccuracies, diagnosticians have come to rely on applications that focus on medical image analysis. While there is a vast amount of information available on these procedures, a single-source guide that can comprehensively yet succinctly explain them would be an invaluable resource to have. The applications include Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging, Ultrasound (US), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), digital/X-ray Radiography, Electron Microscopy, DNA analysis, and others. This comprehensive volume illustrates analytical techniques such as, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), adaptive wavelet image enhancement, and data-driven optimized image segmentation and registration. Paradigms of the analysis methods used in bioinformatics and neurosciences are also provided in respective chapters. In addition, this reference reviews techniques that are used to evaluate these major medical-image processing and analysis methods. "This book edited by Lena Costaridou, published by CRC Press, reviews an important set of methods in medical image analysis, and endeavors to convey the main ideas and motivations clearly. I would recommend the book to engineers and scientists involved in medical image analysis as a companion to other textbooks in the field." -Biomedical Engineering Online The book also promotes further development and integration of medical image analysis in clinical practice and will be welcomed by biomedical engineers and radiologists along with physicists and computer scientists involved in healthcare delivery.
