A Novel Framework on Biomedical Image Analysis Based on Shape and Texture Classification for Complex Disease Diagnosis

Abstract

The wide acceptance of applying computer technology in medical imaging system for manipulation, display, and analysis contribute better improvement in achieving diagnostic confidence and accuracy on predicting diseases. Therefore, the need for biomedical image analysis to diagnose a particular type of disease or disorder by combining diverse images of human organs is a major challenge in most of the biomedical application systems. This chapter contributes an overview on the nature of biomedical images in electronic form facilitating computer processing and analysis of data. This describes the different types of images in the context of information gathering, screening, diagnosis, monitor, therapy, and control and evaluation. The characterization and digitization of the image content is important in the analysis and design of image transmission.
