The field of medical imaging is undergoing a radical shift, from subjective interpretation to quantitative analysis and measurement. This transformation is well established in the clinical trials arena, and is beginning to enter the diagnostic field as well. This paper will consider the implications of this change in terms of instrumentation, procedure, and analysis. It will include a brief rev...

The terahertz (THz) part of the electromagnetic spectrum falls between the lower frequency millimetre wave region and, at higher frequencies, the far-infrared region. The frequency range extends from 0.1 THz to 10 THz, where both these limits are rather loose. As the THz region separates the more established domains of microwaves and optics, a typical THz technique will incorporate as pects of ...

The purpose of this article is to introduce an advanced system for the support of processing of medical image information, and the terminology related to this system, which can be an important element to a faster transition to a fully digitalized hospital. The core of the system is a set of DICOM compliant applications running over a dedicated computer network. The whole integrated system creat...
