Image Processing in Radiation Therapy
Moo K. Chung University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematical and Computational Imaging Sciences Series
The massive amount of nonstandard high-dimensional brain imaging data being generated is often difficult to analyze using current techniques. This challenge in brain image analysis requires new computational approaches and solutions. Unfortunately, few research papers or books in the field describe the quantitative techniques with detailed illustrations of actual imaging data and computer codes. Using MATLAB® and case study data sets, this is the first book to explicitly explain how to perform statistical analysis on brain imaging data. Catalog no.

This book introduces novel approaches to help solve the problem of image reconstruction on the Cartesian lattice. It discusses methods of image processing along parallel rays to more accurately reconstruct images from a finite number of projections and avoid overradiating the body during a CT scan. It presents several new concepts and methods, including methods of transferring the geometry of rays from the plane to the Cartesian lattice, the point map of projections, the particle and its field function, and the statistical model of averaging.
Avoiding excessive mathematical formalisms, this second edition of a bestseller delivers an ideal introduction to medical image processing, presenting key principles and algorithms using simple MATLAB®/Octave scripts. It not only discusses data storage, transformations, segmentation, rendering, registration, and reconstruction, but also contains a chapter on clinical applications and an image-guided therapy tutorial.

A good example of a sinusoid is that of a continuous musical sound where the Fourier transforms are used to calculate the discrete set of amplitudes that involve the Fourier series. Designed for mathematicians, scientists, and engineers in signal processing, this reference explains that sinusoids represent periodic functions of the sine or cosine. The book explores the use and historical development of Fourier series, signals, and filters. This material then leads to useful applications of sinusoids in areas that include telecommunications, spectroscopy, acoustics, and more. Catalog no.
