Image Processing in Radiology: Current Applications

Radiology smartphone applications; current provision and cautions

OBJECTIVES Medical smartphone applications are increasingly popular amongst doctors. However, the quality of their content is variable. We assessed contemporary radiology-related smartphone applications, focussing on the level of advertised medical involvement in application development. METHODS Six major application stores were searched between 18-30 June 2012 using the terms radiology, radi...

Image Processing for Cartographic Applications

SVD Based Image Processing Applications:

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) has recently emerged as a new paradigm for processing different types of images. SVD is an attractive algebraic transform for image processing applications. The paper proposes an experimental survey for the SVD as an efficient transform in image processing applications. Despite the well-known fact that SVD offers attractive properties in imaging, the exploring...

Image Processing: Principles and Applications

This book covers the classical methods in image processing and introduces many recent applications. The described applications span a broad range of fields, including medical and dental imaging, multimedia search and retrieval, and tracking and security. The book opens with a description of the physical process of image formation and color perception. Several color spaces are defined and severa...

A Novel Multiply-Accumulator Unit Bus Encoding Architecture for Image Processing Applications

In the CMOS circuit power dissipation is a major concern for VLSI functional units. With shrinking feature size, increased frequency and power dissipation on the data bus have become the most important factor compared to other parts of the functional units. One of the most important functional units in any processor is the Multiply-Accumulator unit (MAC). The current work focuses on the develop...
