Opis

This monograph details the theory, technology, and practical implement ations in a variety of medical settings. International experts thoroug hly explain why image registration is important, describe its applicat ions in a nonmathematical way, and include rigorous analysis for those who plan to implement algorithms themselves. It is accessible and inf ormative to those new to the field, yet it provides in-depth treatment for the expert. With its practical examples, extensive illustrations, and comprehensible approach, Medical Image Registration is a must hav e guide for medical physicists, clinicians, and researchers.
