Biomedical Image Understanding [EPUB ebook] 
Methods and Applications

A comprehensive guide to understanding and interpreting
digital images in medical and functional applications

Biomedical Image Understanding focuses on image
understanding and semantic interpretation, with clear introductions
to related concepts, in-depth theoretical analysis, and detailed
descriptions of important biomedical applications. It covers image
processing, image filtering, enhancement, de-noising, restoration,
and reconstruction; image segmentation and feature extraction;
registration; clustering, pattern classification, and data
fusion.

With contributions from experts in China, France, Italy, Japan,
Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Biomedical
Image Understanding:

* Addresses motion tracking and knowledge-based systems, two
areas which are not covered extensively elsewhere in a biomedical
context

* Describes important clinical applications, such as virtual
colonoscopy, ocular disease diagnosis, and liver tumor
detection

* Contains twelve self-contained chapters, each with an
introduction to basic concepts, principles, and methods, and a case
study or application

With over 150 diagrams and illustrations, this bookis an
essential resource for the reader interested in rapidly advancing
research and applications in biomedical image understanding.
