Opis

As the medical information systems have been integrated in order to address the core of medicine, including patient care in ambulatory and in-patient setting, computer assisted diagnosis and treatment, telemedicine, and home care we are witnessing radical changes in the Information Technologies. This will continue in the years to come. This book presents a comprehensive study in this field and contains carefully selected articles contributed by experts of information technologies. It is an interdisciplinary collection of papers that have both a theoretical and applied dimension. In particular, it includes the following sections: - Image Processing and CAD, - Signal Processing, - Biotechnology, - Data Analysis, - Multimedia, - Biomechanics. This book is a great reference tool for scientists who deal with problems of designing and implementing information processing tools employed in systems that assist the clinicians in patient diagnosis and treatment.
