Review of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Review of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) The hydrogen atom has a nucleus consisting of only a single proton. Because of this it exhibits a relatively large magnetic moment. Hydrogen is also plentiful throughout the body due to its presence in every water molecule...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. The detected signal in MRI is obtained from the protons, most often the hydrogen protons, in the various tissues within the body. These protons create a net magnetization when they are...

Computer-aided diagnosis CAD

Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has become a vital part of medical evaluations and pathology detection in the United States [1]. Systematic use of CAD systems since 1980s has caused a signi ficant change in the utilization of the computer output for...

Introduction of Neural Recording Channels

Information processing in the brain is carried out by large groups of interconnected neurons. Neurons are the cells responsible for encoding, transmitting, and integrating signals originating inside or outside the nervous system. The transmission of information within...

Medical image computing

Over the last decade, medical image computing and analysis has evolved into one of the most important fields within the biomedical imaging community . This is largely attributed to the rapid progress in computerized medical image visualization, advances in analysis...
