Level Set Techniques for Structural Inversion in Medical Imaging
Most biological bodies are structured in the sense that they contain quite well-defined interfaces between regions of different types of tissue or anatomical material. Extracting structural information from medical or biological images has been an important research topic for a long time. Recently, much attention has been devoted to quite novel techniques for the direct recovery of structural i...
متن کاملLevel Set Method In Medical Imaging: An overview
The level set method for capturing moving fronts was devised by Osher and Sethian in [3]. The goal is to compute and analyze the motion of an interface Γ that is moving according to its own geometries and/or the external physics of the underlying problem. The key idea behind this method is to implicitly represent the interface Γ as the zero level set of a smooth enough function φ, known as leve...
متن کاملHolographic microwave imaging for medical applications
This paper presents a new 2D holographic microwave imaging array (HMIA) technique for medical imaging applications. The HMIA technique has been applied to early stage breast cancer detection and brain stroke detection. Computer models are developed to demonstrate the feasibility of detecting and localizing small brain strokes within a 2D numerical head model and breast tumours within a 3D numer...
متن کاملComputational Methods for Microwave Medical Imaging
Medical imaging methods have become increasingly important in diagnosing diseases and assisting therapeutic treatment. In particular, early detection of breast cancer is considered as a critical factor in reducing the mortality rate of women. Within the various alternative breast imaging modalities being investigated to improve breast cancer detection, microwave imaging is attractive due to the...
متن کاملMedical Applications of Microwave Imaging
Ultrawide band (UWB) microwave imaging is a promising method for the detection of early stage breast cancer, based on the large contrast in electrical parameters between malignant tumour tissue and the surrounding normal breast-tissue. In this paper, the detection and imaging of a malignant tumour are performed through a tomographic based microwave system and signal processing. Simulations of t...
