Reviews
I am glad to have had the opportunity to review this book, which is suitable for beginners to learn the overall, big picture of medical image analysis. ... the book is very well written with details of the algorithms being described in a way that pupils can easily understand. The exercises and references are reasonable and helpful ... . (Guang Yang, International Association of Pattern Recognition Newsletter, Vol. 40 (1), January, 2018) The book is well written and accurate. The author states that he has made a number of additions and corrections in this new edition; the result is very good. ... it's well suited as a textbook for medical professionals. I am evaluating it for adoption in a medical imaging course, and would recommend it to those in the medical field who want a detailed discussion of medical image analysis.
