Abstract

Medical image processing is an interdisciplinary research field attracting expertise from applied mathematics, computer sciences, engineering, statistics, physics, biology and medicine. In this context we shall present an introduction to basic techniques and concepts as well as more advanced methods to promote interests for further study and research in the field.
