Management of head and neck injuries by the sideline physician.

Injuries to the head and neck are common in sports. Sideline physicians must be attentive and prepared with an organized approach to detect and manage these injuries. Because head and neck injuries often occur simultaneously, the sideline physician can combine the head and neck evaluations.

In particular, mappings between binary images that are translation invariant and locally defined within a window are of special interest in MM. They are called W-operators. A key aspect of MM is the representation of W-operators in terms of dilations, erosions, intersection, union, complementati...
