Computers are now found in virtually every medical imaging system, including ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and magnetic resonance imaging. Biomedical Image Analysis mitigates the limitations of combining diverse images of the same organ into a readily-comprehensible visual display. It shows readers the benefits of computer vision techniques, adding objective strength and diagnostic confidence through quantative analysis. The problems presented in this book focus on the post-acquisition challenges like enhancement, detection of edges, analysis of shape, and sharpness, rather than the imaging...
