Advanced Medical Image Analysis

Advanced Medical Image Analysis

Medical image analysis is performed in order to facilitate medical research and ultimately provide better healthcare. It is critical to the advancement of imaging-based medical research, for example, using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to probe brain structural and functional changes related to a disease or cognitive process. This special issue highlights new methods of signal and image proce...

Advanced Approaches for Medical Image Compression

Medical diagnostic data produced by hospitals has increased exponentially. With the coming era of digitized medical information and film-less imaging, it has been a challenge to deal with the storage and transmission requirement of enormous data. Compression is one of the indispensable techniques to solve this problem; with this the wavelet-based approaches have been the mainstream in the signa...

Automating Medical Image Analysis

By image analysis we mean the operation of extracting a relativeiy small amount of quantitative information from a two-dimensional image. Typically, a two-dimensional image, in digital form, consists of an array of 512 x 512 eight-bit digital words. The quantitative information to be extracted consists of a few thousand digital words. These words may describe, for example, the contours of cell ...
