Handbook of Biomedical Image Analysis: Segmentation Models (Volume I) is dedicated to the segmentation of complex shapes from the field of imaging sciences using different mathematical techniques.

This volume is aimed at researchers and educators in imaging sciences, radiological imaging, clinical and diagnostic imaging, physicists covering different medical imaging modalities, as well as researchers in biomedical engineering, applied mathematics, algorithmic development, computer vision, signal processing, computer graphics and multimedia in general, both in academia and industry .

Key Features:

- Principles of intra-vascular ultrasound (IVUS)

- Principles of positron emission tomography (PET)

- Physical principles of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).

- Basic and advanced level set methods

- Shape for shading method for medical image analysis

- Wavelet transforms and other multi-scale analysis functions

- Three dimensional deformable surfaces

- Level Set application for CT lungs, brain MRI and MRA volume segmentation

- Segmentation of incomplete tomographic medical data sets

- Subjective level sets for missing boundaries for segmentation

Jasjit Suri, Ph.D. has spent the last 20 years in the field of computer and electrical engineering, and more than a decade in imaging sciences. Dr. Suri has a masters in computer sciences from the University of Illinois, a doctorate from the University of Washington, Seattle, and will soon receive his EMBA from the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Suri has published over 100 technical publications in medical imaging, is a senior member of IEEE, member of the engineering honor societies Eta-Kappa-Nu and Tau-Beta-Phi, and a recipient of the President's Gold Medal in 1980.
