With the continuous development of computer science and technology, the field of Image processing is considered as a very active area of research. Digital Image Processing refers to processing of digital images by means of digital computer. The aim is to produce digital images with better contrast and hidden details. For this purpose, Image Enhancement techniques that process an input image so ...

Bioinformatics is a computer-assisted interface discipline dealing with the acquisition, storage, management, access and processing of molecular biology data. It is an interdisciplinary scientific tool without barriers among various disciplines of science like biology, mathematics, computer science and information technology. Bioinformatics has become an important part of many areas of biology....

We are currently working toward developing computer-assisted methods for the indexing of a collection of 17,000 digitized x-ray images by biomedical content. These images were collected as part of a nationwide health survey and form a research resource for osteoarthitis and bone morphometry. This task requires the development of algorithms to robustly analyze the xray contents for key landmarks...

PURPOSE To develop a computer-assisted method for the quantitation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) for the support of clinical trials. METHODS Fluorescein angiographic images were selected from 5 patients enrolled in a clinical trial for which three follow-up visits were available. Thirty- and 600-second images were digitized at 1000 dots/in and registered (aligned) with polynomial warp...
