Biomedical Signal and Image Processing, Second Edition

Written for senior-level and first year graduate students in biomedical signal and image processing, this book describes fundamental signal and image processing techniques that are used to process biomedical information. The book also discusses application of these techniques in the processing of some of the main biomedical signals and images, such as EEG, ECG, MRI, and CT. New features of this edition include the technical updating of each chapter along with the addition of many more examples, the majority of which are MATLAB based. Preface The First Edition Of The Book Biomedical Signal And Image Processing Was Published By Crc Press In 2005. It Was Used By Many Universities And Educational Institutions As A Textbook For Upper Undergraduate Level And First Year Graduate Level Courses In Signal And Image Processing. It Was Also Used By A Number Of Companies And Research Institutions As A Reference Book For Their Research Projects. This Highly Encouraging Impact Of The First Edition Motivated Me To Look Into Ways To Improve The Book And Create A Second Edition. The Second Edition You Have In Hand Has The Following Improvements Compared To The First Edition: - A Number Of Editorial Corrections Have Been Made To Address The Typos, Grammatical Errors, And Ambiguities In Some Mathematical Equations. - Many Examples Have Been Added To Almost All Chapters, Of Which The Majority Are Matlabʼ Examples, Further Illustrating The Concepts Described In The Text. - Further Explanations And Justifications Have Been Provided For Some Signal And Image Processing Concepts That May Have Needed More Illustration. Finally, I Would Like To Thank All The People Who Contacted Me And My Coauthor, Dr. Splinter, And Shared With Us Their Thoughts And Ideas Regarding This Book. I Hope That You Find The Second Edition Even More Useful Than The First One!

Pt. 1. Introduction To Digital Signal And Image Processing -- Pt. 2. Processing Of Biomedical Signals -- Pt. 3. Processing Of Biomedical Images. Kayvan Najarian, Robert Splinter. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. First published in 2005, Biomedical Signal and Image Processing received wide and welcome reception from universities and industry research institutions alike, offering detailed, yet accessible information at the reference, upper undergraduate, and first year graduate level. Retaining all of the quality and precision of the first edition, Biomedical Signal and Image Processing, Second Edition offers a number of revisions and improvements to provide the most up-to-date reference available on the fundamental signal and image processing techniques that are used to process biomedical information. Addressing the application of standard and novel processing techniques to some of today’s principle biomedical signals and images over three sections, the book begins with an introduction to digital signal and image processing, including Fourier transform, image filtering, edge detection, and wavelet transform. The second section investigates specifically biomedical signals, such as ECG, EEG, and EMG, while the third focuses on imaging using CT, X-Ray, MRI, ultrasound, positron, and other biomedical imaging techniques. Updated and expanded, Biomedical Signal and Image Processing, Second Edition offers numerous additional, predominantly MATLAB, examples to all chapters to illustrate the concepts described in the text and ensure a complete understanding of the material. The author takes great care to clarify ambiguities in some mathematical equations and to further explain and justify the more complex signal and image processing concepts to offer a complete and understandable approach to complicated concepts.
