Image Processing with MATLAB^(r): Applications in Medicine and Biology explains complex, theory-laden topics in image processing through examples and MATLAB^(r) algorithms. It describes classical as well emerging areas in image processing and analysis.

Providing many unique MATLAB codes and functions throughout, the book covers the theory of probability and statistics, two-dimensional fast Fourier transform, nonlinear diffusion filtering, and partial differential equation (PDE)-based image denoising techniques. It presents...

Presenting in depth discussions of various statistical models and methods needed for the analysis of medical, biological and biostatistics data, this book emphasizes the analysis of data when normal distribution assumptions are not tenable. It provides detailed explanations in situations when data are naturally clustered in groups, whereby the Intra-class Correlation Coefficient plays a fundamental role in the model development. This new edition incorporates several additions that take into account recent developments in the field.
