Computer-Aided Cancer Detection and Diagnosis: Recent Advances (Press Monographs) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Editors Tang and Agaian present this technical reference on using computational and imaging tools to help detect cancer. Chapters from various contributors discuss specific technologies, procedures, or types of cancer. The first chapter presents CT colonography as an example of successful computer-aided detection or diagnosis (CAD) technology and reviews its history and implementation. Chapter two focuses on the computing side, discussing image pre-processing considerations. Ensuing chapters discuss techniques such as multimodality imaging, nonlinear unsharp masking, wavelet-based feature extraction, fractal analysis, image reconstruction, and other interpolative procedures in the detection of breast, skin, and prostate cancers. The book is written from an engineering perspective, giving ample mathematical detail on the computer transformations, and emphasizes development rather than application of the technologies.
