Lymphedema tissue analysis using optical imaging and gradient processing

Last years the development of computer-aided diagnostic systems for medical image analysis has become a hot topic. A key step is connected with informative features extraction. Here, we discussed multiphoton microscopy and optical coherent tomography lymphedema tissue images analysis using gradient processing methods.
