Optical and Photo-acoustic Imaging -- Image Analysis and Signal Processing -- Shape Representation and Analysis -- Image Reconstruction -- Imaging and Genomics -- Image Guided Surgery -- Image-Guided Interventions and Surgery -- Segmentation -- Pattern recognition -- Feature extraction -- Classifier design -- Machine learning including deep learning -- Radiomics -- CAD workstation design -- Human-computer interaction.

This book covers virtually all aspects of image formation in medical imaging, including systems based on ionizing radiation (x-rays, gamma rays) and non-ionizing techniques (ultrasound, optical, thermal, magnetic resonance, and magnetic particle imaging) alike. In addition, it discusses the development and application of computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) systems in medical imaging. Given its coverage, the book provides both a forum and valuable resource for researchers involved in image formation, experimental methods, image performance, segmentation, pattern recognition, feature extraction, classifier design, machine learning / deep learning, radiomics, CAD workstation design, human-computer interaction, databases, and performance evaluation.
