What are the current topics for research in medical image processing?

Biomedical Imaging. Computer Vision. Discovery Radiomics. Evolutionary Deep Intelligence. Image Segmentation/Classification.

What are the current trends in image processing?

Three trends are identified here as being particularly important: integration of image processing into ‘visual computing’, development of volume imaging technology and applications, and creation of highly functional visual information processing systems.

What is medical imaging processing?

Medical image processing encompasses the use and exploration of 3D image datasets of the human body, obtained most commonly from a Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner to diagnose pathologies or guide medical interventions such as surgical planning, or for research purposes.

What is the difference between medical imaging and radiology?

Medical imaging is a technology which is used by radiologists, particularly for diagnostic purposes. Although the word “radiology” sounds like it involves radiation, that is not always the case – for example, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and ultrasound do not use radiation in their medical imaging technologies.

What is the purpose of medical imaging?

Medical imaging refers to several different technologies that are used to view the human body in order to diagnose, monitor, or treat medical conditions.

What is the most common form of medical imaging?

X-rays (radiographs) are the most common and widely available diagnostic imaging technique.

What is the goal of medical imaging?

Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities.

Is an EKG considered imaging?

While not an imaging modality itself, the electrocardiogram (also known as an EKG or ECG) is used in several imaging procedures to monitor heart wave activity or to synchronize the acquisition of data.

What is the future of digital image processing?

The future of image processing will involve scanning the heavens for other intelligent life out in space. Also new intelligent, digital species created entirely by research scientists in various nations of the world will include advances in image processing applications.
