(3d Photorealistic Rendering) 1st Edition
by Ayman El-Baz (Editor), Jasjit S. Suri (Editor)
This book covers the state-of-the-art approaches for automated
non-invasive systems for early cardiovascular disease diagnosis. It
includes several prominent imaging modalities such as MRI, CT, and PET
technologies. There is a special emphasis placed on automated imaging
analysis techniques, which are important to biomedical imaging analysis
of the cardiovascular system. Novel 4D based approach is a unique
characteristic of this product. This is a comprehensive
multi-contributed reference work that will detail the latest
developments in spatial, temporal, and functional cardiac imaging. The
main aim of this book is to help advance scientific research within the
broad field of early detection of cardiovascular disease. This book
focuses on major trends and challenges in this area, and it presents
work aimed to identify new techniques and their use in biomedical image
analysis.
Key Features:
- Includes state-of-the art 4D cardiac image analysis
- Explores the aspect of automated segmentation of cardiac CT and MR images utilizing both 3D and 4D techniques
- Provides a novel procedure for improving full-cardiac strain estimation in 3D image appearance characteristics
- Includes extensive references at the end of each chapter to enhance further study
