A number of fundamentally different methods of obtaining images from tissue, called imaging modalities, emerged during the historical development of biomedical imaging, and the information that these modalities provide differs among modalities. It is outside our scope here to provide a detailed description of the physical and engineering foundations of the modalities, but a short […]
Biomedical image analysis is a highly interdisciplinary field, being at the interface of computer sciences, physics, medicine, biology, and engineering. Fundamentally, biomedical image analysis is the application of image processing techniques to biological or medical problems. However, in biomedical image analysis, a number of other fields play an important role: • Anatomy. Knowledge of shape, […]
