Statistics of Medical Imaging

Extensive work is being done in the statistical aspects of medical imaging, and this book fills the gap in the literature to provide a unified framework of study. It presents a complete look at medical imaging and statistics, from the statistical aspects of imaging technology to the statistical analysis of images. It provides technicians and students with the statistical principles that underlay medical imaging and offers reference material for researchers involved in the design of new technology. Illustrations are included throughout as are many real examples and algorithms. The text also includes exercises developed out of the author's many years of experience.
