Cover of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications of Breast Imaging

This book presents the established and currently researched diagnostic and therapeutic imaging techniques used for breast cancer. Section I is a review of the principles, applications, and recent advances of breast imaging modalities. Section II focuses on breast pathologies and presents the use of breast cancer subgross morphology parameters. Section III covers mammography. Section IV focuses on CAD techniques used in breast cancer detection. Section V is dedicated to breast ultrasound, and Section VI discusses the role of magnetic resonance imaging in breast imaging. Thermal imaging in breast cancer is the theme of Section VII, and Section VIII concludes with chapters on breast cancer treatment.

Cover of Color Image Processing with Biomedical Applications
This full-color book begins with a detailed study of the nature of color images-including natural, multispectral, and pseudocolor images-and covers acquisition, quality control, and display of color images, as well as issues of noise and artifacts in color images and segmentation for the detection of regions of interest or objects. The book is primarily written with the (post-) graduate student in mind, but practicing engineers, researchers, computer scientists, information technologists, medical physicists, and data-processing specialists will also benefit from its depth of information. Those working in diverse areas such as DIP, computer vision, pattern recognition, telecommunications, seismic and geophysical applications, biomedical applications, hospital information systems, remote sensing, mapping, and geomatics may find this book useful in their quest to learn advanced techniques for the analysis of color or multichannel images.
