Introduction to Medical Image Analysis

This book is a result of a collaboration between DTU Informatics at the Technical University of Denmark and the Laboratory of Computer Vision and Media Technology at Aalborg University. It is partly based on the book ”Image and Video Processing”,second edition by Thomas Moeslund. The aim of the book is to present the fascinating world of medical image analysis in an easy and interesting way. Compared to many standard books on image analysis,the approach we have chosen is less mathematical and more casual. Some of the key algorithms are exemplified in C-code. Please note that the code is neither optimal nor complete and merely serves as an additional input for comprehending the algorithms.It is no secret that this book is written by two authors. The keen reader will therefore note changes in style and language throughout the text.
