Medical Images: Formation, Handling and Evaluation

Medical Images: Formation, Handling and Evaluation edited by Andrew E. Todd-Pokropek, Max A. Viergever.

Medical imaging is a very important area in diagnostic (and increasingly therapeutic) medicine. Many new techniques are being developed or extended which depend on digital methods. Although conventional x-radiographs still comprise the bulk of the medical images acquired in a hospital, digital metho...
