Avoiding excessive mathematical formalisms, the book presents key principles by implementing algorithms from scratch and using simple MATLAB®\/Octave scripts with image data and illustrations on an accompanying companion website. Organized as a complete textbook, it provides an overview of the physics of medical image processing and discusses imaging physics, clinical applications of image processing, image formats and data storage, intensity transforms, filtering of images and applications of the Fourier transform, three-dimensional spatial transforms, volume rendering, image registration, tomographic reconstruction and basic machine learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Third Edition of the bestseller:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains a brand-new chapter on the basics of machine learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevotes more attention to the subject of color space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes additional examples from radiology, internal medicine, surgery, and radiation therapy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporates freely available programs in the public domain (e.g., GIMP, 3DSlicer, and ImageJ) when applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneficial to students of medical physics, biomedical engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, and related fields, as well as medical physicists, radiographers, radiologists, and other professionals, \u003ci\u003eApplied Medical Image Processing: A Basic Course, Third Edition \u003c\/i\u003eis fully updated and expanded to ensure a perfect blend of theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWolfgang Birkfellner studied theoretical physics at, and holds a Ph.D in medical physics from, the University of Vienna, Austria.
