Contemporary perspectives in three-dimensional biomedical imaging.

This study provides a reference source for results and current trends in the field of biomedical imaging. The text is concerned with the different aspects of biomedical imaging in terms of basic engineering issues: reconstruction, visualization, segmentation, texture, modelling, interpretation and fusion, and of biological and medical issues (macromolecule study, X-ray imaging, ultrasound imaging, computed tomography, emission computed tomography, surgery, morphology, anthropometrics, forensic science, computer integrated surgery and therapy, and clinical evaluation). The introductory chapter provides a review of the general approach and major applications, and later chapters provide the reader with up-to-date information on emerging areas.
