Geometric Methods in Bio-Medical Image Processing

"This is an excellent monograph on geometric methods in biomedical image processing. I strongly recommend this book to visualization experts in mathematics, computer science and bio-medical applications and to research students on above topics."―JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS

"This book is based on the conference held at the University of Bologna at June 1999. ... The book gives a good review on some of the traditional applications in medical imagery (CT, MR, Ultrasound). ... This is an excellent monograph on geometric methods in biomedical image processing. I strongly recommend this book to visualization experts in mathematics, computer science and bio-medical applications and to research students on the above topics." (T. E. Simos, Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering, Vol. 3 (2), 2003)

Itgivesmegreatpleasuretoeditthisbook. Thegenesisofthisbookgoes backtotheconferenceheldattheUniversityofBolognainJune1999,on collaborativeworkbetweentheUniversityofCaliforniaatBerkeleyandthe UniversityofBologna.
