Abstract
After reading this chapter, you should know the answers to these questions:
-
What makes images a challenging type of data to be processed by computers when compared to non-image clinical data?
-
Why are there many different imaging modalities, and by what major two characteristics do they differ?
-
How are visual and knowledge content in images represented computationally? How are these techniques similar to representation of non-image biomedical data?
-
What sort of applications can be developed to make use of the semantic image content made accessible using the Annotation and Image Markup model?
-
What are four different types of image processing methods? Why are such methods assembled into a pipeline when creating imaging applications?
-
What is an imaging modality with high spatial resolution? What is a modality that provides functional information? Why are most imaging modalities not capable of providing both?
-
What is the goal in performing segmentation in image analysis? Why is there more than one segmentation method?
-
What are two types of quantitative information in images? What are two types of semantic information in images? How might this information be used in medical applications?
-
What is the difference between image registration and image fusion? What are examples of each?
