Medical Infrared Imaging, (Hardcover)

Edited by the inventor of the MedATR concept that lead to the first IR-CAD for the early detection of breast cancer, Medical Infrared Imaging presents many of the new ideas, concepts, and technologies that are key to the acceptance of infrared imaging as a viable, non-invasive, low-cost, first-line detection modality. Presenting revolutionary advances and their medical applications, the book provides comprehensive information on the resulting technology and hardware. It covers the fundamentals of thermal imaging, cutting-edge concepts, novel processing techniques, and new applications in diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring. The book emphasizes the importance of standardization, calibration, and protocols; databases for storage and retrieval of images; and ethical obligations.
