Fundamentals of Three-dimensional Digital Image Processing

This book is a detailed description of the basics of 3-dimensional (3D) digital image processing, in particular the processing of images from techniques such as CT, MRI, and nuclear emission tomography. The book is based on 1980s research by the first author, Dr. Toriwaki, at Nagoya University and Chukyo University, Japan. The targeted audience is primarily graduate students and scientists in b...

Three-dimensional printing in cardiology: Current applications and future challenges.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has attracted a huge interest in recent years. Broadly speaking, it refers to the technology which converts a predesigned virtual model to a touchable object. In clinical medicine, it usually converts a series of two-dimensional medical images acquired through computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or 3D echocardiography into a physical model. Medical 3D...
