Biomedical Image Processing and Classification

Biomedical image processing is an interdisciplinary field involving a variety of disciplines e.g. electronics computer science physics mathematics physiology and medicine. Several imaging techniques have been developed providing many approaches to the study of the human body. Biomedical image processing is finding an increasing number of important applications in for example the study of the internal structure or function of an organ and the diagnosis or treatment of a disease. If associated with classification methods it can support the development of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems which could help medical doctors in refining their clinical picture.
