An introductory illustration of medical image analysis

Abstract The medical imaging field has evolved into an enormous scientific discipline since the last decade of the 19th century. The analysis of medical data obtained by current image modalities such as positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and ultrasound comes to the aid of the fruitful diagnosis, appropriate planning, and assessment of therapy for patients’ treatment and much more. Medical image analysis is crucial to grip this huge amount of data and to investigate and present the appropriate information for any particular medical task. In this chapter, different aspects with regard to medical image analysis are exhaustively explored. In particular, issues and challenges in connection with this task are investigated and described. In addition, a brief summary of the contributory chapters is presented to trace the challenges and findings of each.
