Handbook of Medical Imaging - Processing and Analysis Management (Hardcover)

This work has been created to serve both the medical and the engineering community with the most comprehensive information available on medical image processing. Engineers and computer professionals should gain a thorough understanding of medical instrumentation, applications and diagnostic techniques. Medical professionals should gain a background in image processing, image enhancement, scalar measurement and image resolution as well as descriptive coverage of the image capturing hardware and software, basic mathematics, signal processing and image compression.;The handbook is divided up into two equal sections. The first section covers the principles of signal processing and image processing with an emphasis on clear explanation of the science and technology behind the process and instrumentation of image processing. Also covered are techniques in image processing for the understanding of image capture and manipulation, image enhancement, scientific measurement and visualization. The second section concentrates on state-of-the-art coverge of the major technologies and disciplines of medical imaging like MRI, CTXray and ultrasound. The history of image processing and policy and st
