Medical Image Analysis, 2nd Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Feb 2011, Pages: 400
The last two decades have witnessed significant advances in medical imaging and computerized medical image processing. These advances have led to new two - , three - , and multidimensional imaging modalities that have become important clinical tools in diagnostic radiology. The clinical significance of radiological imaging modalities in diagnosis and treatment of diseases is overwhelming. While planar X – ray imaging was the only radiological imaging method in the early part of the last century, several modern imaging modalities are in practice today to acquire anatomical, physiological, metabolic, and functional information from the human body. Commonly used medical imaging modalities capable of producing multidimensional images for radiological applications are X - ray computed tomography (X - ray CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound.
The expanded and revised edition of 'Medical Image Analysis' now includes some key updates. Chapter 4 has been split to include more details and examples in FMRI, DTI, and DWI for MR image modalities. The book also expands ultrasound imaging to 3-D dynamic contrast ultrasound imaging in a separate chapter.
A new chapter on Optical Imaging Modalities elaborating microscopy, confocal microscopy, endoscopy, optical coherent tomography, fluorescence and molecular imaging has been added. Another new chapter on Simultaneous Multi-Modality Medical Imaging including CT-SPECT and CT-PET has also been added. In the image analysis part, chapters on image reconstructions and visualizations have been significantly enhanced to include, respectively, 3-D fast statistical estimation based reconstruction methods, and 3-D image fusion and visualization overlaying multi-modality imaging and information. A new chapter on Computer-Aided Diagnosis and image guided surgery, and surgical and therapeutic intervention has also been added.
