Reviews

From the reviews: R. Malladi (ed.) Geometric Methods in Bio-Medical Image Processing This is an excellent monograph on geometric methods in biomedical image processing. I strongly recommend this book to visualization experts in mathematics, computer science and bio-medical applications and to research students on above topics. -JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS This book is based on the conference held at the University of Bologna at June 1999. ... The book gives a good review on some of the traditional applications in medical imagery (CT, MR, Ultrasound). ... This is an excellent monograph on geometric methods in biomedical image processing. I strongly recommend this book to visualization experts in mathematics, computer science and bio-medical applications and to research students on the above topics. (T. E. Simos, Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering, Vol. 3 (2), 2003)
