Selected Topics in Image Science

Selected Topics in Image Science edited by O. Nalcioglu, Z.-H. Cho.

The continuing growth of computed tomography (CT) and other imaging techniques motivated us to bring together a comprehensive review of the state of the art in diagnostic imaging. Twelve years after the first appearance of x-ray CT, computerized diagnostic imaging has grown so rapidly in sophisticat...
