Medical Image Recognition, Segmentation and Parsing

This book describes the technical problems and solutions for automatically recognizing and parsing a medical image into multiple objects, structures, or anatomies. It gives all the key methods, including state-of- the-art approaches based on machine learning, for recognizing or detecting, parsing or segmenting, a cohort of anatomical structures from a medical image.

Written by top experts in Medical Imaging, this book is ideal for university researchers and industry practitioners in medical imaging who want a complete reference on key methods, algorithms and applications in medical image recognition, segmentation and parsing of multiple objects.

Learn:

• Research challenges and problems in medical image recognition, segmentation and parsing of multiple objects
• Methods and theories for medical image recognition, segmentation and parsing of multiple objects
• Efficient and effective machine learning solutions based on big datasets

• Selected applications of medical image parsing using proven algorithms
