Wavelet Applications in Medicine

This property of wavelets and because of their suitability for analyzing non-stationary signals make them potentially invaluable in numerous biomedical applications and research. In addition to helping in the recognition and detection of key diagnostic features like detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) , detecting irregular heart beats, effect of alcohol consumption on babies during pregnancy, and early detection of breast cancer, they provide a powerful means for compressing medical images with little loss of valuable information.
