The Processing and Analysis of Radiographic Image Sequences

  • Conference paper
Digital Image Processing in Medicine

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Medical Informatics ((LNMED,volume 15))

Abstract

The registration of temporal changes in X-ray images for the assessment of functions of the human body has been performed for a long time. In the conventional way this has been done by qualitative inspection of the images. Although the need of a quantitative analysis was felt very early, no real advance was made in this direction until the application of digital methods in the beginning of the seventies. The purpose of this paper is to give an introduction to this field and to outline the principles of various approaches and their associated problems.
