Book details Costaridou, Lena: Medical Image Analysis Methods CRC Press; 2005. 504 pages, ISBN 0-8493-2089-5 give either a summary of techniques or a detailed descrip- tion of methods used for specific tasks usually required in a CAD system. Chapter 4 gives a comprehensive review of classification methods that have made their way into medical image processing. Chapter 5 centers on texture This book provides a review of various computer vision, image processing and artificial intelligence methods, most of them aimed at assisting diagnostic decision making. Most of the reviewed work revolves around computer- aided detection (CAD) in mammography, ranging from the description of the basic structure of a CAD system to a more elaborate exposition of specific methods such as image classification, texture characterization and contrast enhancement. Few other types of topical processing tech- niques are also reviewed, under some other representative medical imaging modalities. characterization using autoregressive models, while Chapter 6 covers topics in image enhancement
