The Handbook of Neural Computation is a practical, hands-on guide to the design and
implementation of neural networks used by scientists and engineers to tackle difficult and/or …

For some applications it is necessary to fit an irregular surface to given data, eg to develop a
geometric model of a human skeletal bone from computerized tomography scans. Such a …

The authors present a method that combines region growing and edge detection for
magnetic resonance (MR) brain image segmentation. Starting with a simple region growing …

The objectives of the Knowledge-Based Multimedia Medical Distributed Database System
(KMeD) are to: query medical multimedia distributed databases by both image content and …

The work presented in this paper concerns the development of computer-based techniques
for the segmentation of hand-wrist radiographs and in particular those obtained for the TW2 …

Assessing skeletal age is a subjective and tedious examination process. Hence, automated
assessment methods have been developed to replace manual evaluation in medical …

X-ray scanners are considered one of the best technologies for detecting illicit materials
because of their ability to characterize a material at the molecular and atomic levels, and …

An algorithm for segmenting images using stick growing and merging is described, which
consists of four major steps: stick initialisation, stick merging, subregion merging, and …

The quantification of cancellous bone network from computed tomography (CT) images
requires a segmentation step which is crucial and difficult because of the partial volume …

With the advent of digital medical imaging, implementation of automated image processing
has been explored for a number of years. Nevertheless, to date, exploration in the computer …
