Advanced Algorithmic Approaches to Medical Image Segmentation - State-of-the-Art Applications in Cardiology, Neurology, Mammography and Pathology (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2002)

Medical imaging is an important topic and plays a key role in robust diagnosis and patient care. It has experienced an explosive growth over the last few years due to imaging modalities such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and ultrasound. This book focuses primarily on model-based segmentation techniques, which are applied to cardiac, brain, breast and microscopic cancer cell imaging. It includes contributions from authors working in industry and academia, and presents new material.
