Opis

The Information Processing in Medical Imaging Conference is a biennial conference, held alternatively in Europe and in the United States of America. The subject of the conference is the use of computers and mathematics in medical imaging, the evaluation of new imaging techniques, image processing, image analysis, diagnostic decision making and related fields. The conference brings together the top specialists in the field (both scientists and medical doctors) and other participants doing active research on the subject of the conference. The success of a meeting primarily depends on the enthusiasm of the participants. It also greatly depends on the financial support as well as on the personal efforts of the technical staff and collaborators of the organizers. To all who made this conference a success, the members of the organizing committee want to express their sineere thanks. In particular, the organizers want to acknowledge the help received from: De Vice-Voorzitter van de Vlaamse Executieve De Minister van Onderwijs Het Nationaal Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek De Vrije Universiteit Brussel Adac Agfa-Gevaert Bruker Spectrospin Byk Belga Elseint Instituut voor Radioelementen, IRE Nucleobel Solco Sonotron VII TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword. v A. VENOT, J.L. GOLMARD, J.F. LEBRUCHEC, L. PRONZATO, E. WALTER, G. FRIJA and J.C. ROUCAYROL: "Digital Methods for Change Detection in Medical lmages".

Recenzje

`This book is very valuable for the medical imaging scientist and may serve several purposes: as a detailed and relatively complete introduction to a possibly unfamiliar area of medical imaging, and as a source of inspiration for one's own research. While the book is an excellent resource for the imaging scientist, the physician with a technical bent might also benefit from it. This reviewer eagerly awaits the proceedings of the ninth conference.'
