Product Description:
Image processing is a hands-on discipline, and the best way to learn is by doing. This text takes its motivation from medical applications and uses real medical images and situations to illustrate and clarify concepts and to build intuition, insight and understanding. Designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students who will become end-users of digital image processing, it covers the basics of the major clinical imaging modalities, explaining how the images are produced and acquired. It then presents the standard image processing operations, focusing on practical issues and problem solving. Crucially, the book explains when and why particular operations are done, and practical computer-based activities show how these operations affect real images. All images, links to the public-domain software ImageJ and custom plug-ins, and selected solutions are
Summary: Great book on imaging!
Rating: 5
The most accessible book on imaging on the market. Written in a clear and direct style, with lots of figures and example questions. Comes with exercises that you can use with ImageJ. It doesn't overwhelm you with math, but uses it sparingly and always explains the background. This is a great book either for self-study or as a classroom textbook. It should also be of interest to those already working in medical imaging. Just the clearest, most user-friendly imaging book out there .
