ACQUISITION HARDWARE FOR DIGITAL IMAGING

A hardware-based memory acquisition procedure for digital investigations

The acquisition of volatile memory from a compromised computer is difficult to perform reliably because the acquisition procedure should not rely on untrusted code, such as the operating system or applications executing on top of it. In this paper, we present a procedure for acquiring volatile memory using a hardware expansion card that can copy memory to an external storage device. The card is...

Integrating Digital Pens in Breast Imaging for Instant Knowledge Acquisition

Future radiology practices assume that the radiology reports should be uniform, comprehensive, and easily managed. This means that reports must be “readable” to humans and machines alike. In order to improve reporting practices in breast imaging, we allow the radiologist to write structured reports with a special pen on paper with an invisible dot pattern. In this way, we provide a knowledge ac...

Digital Hardware Architectures for Neural

Neural network algorithms are excellent candidates for parallel implementation thanks to their high regularity. This is often supplemented by computation locality, low precision requirements and some tolerance to algorithmic modiications. These features make dedicated digital systems appropriate to support eeciently neural network applications. Many designs have been presented in the technical ...

Digital image acquisition and processing in medical x-ray imaging

This contribution discusses a selection of today's techniques and futurc concepts for digital x-ray imaging in medicine. Advantages of digital imaging over conventional analog methods include the possibility to archive and transmit images in digital intormation systems as well as to digitally process pictures before display, for example, to enhance low contrast details. After reviewing two digi...
