Until recently digital processing of biomedical images was
conducted solely in the research laboratories of the universities
and industry. However, with the advent of computerized tomography
in 1972 and the computerized white blood cell differential count in
1974, enormous changes have suddenly occurred. Digital image pro
cessing in biomedicine has now become the most active sector in the
digital image processing field. Processing rates have reached the
level of one trillion picture elements per year in the United
States alone and are expected to be ten trillion per year in 1980.
This enormous volume of activity has stimulated further re search
in biomedical image processing in the last two years with the
result that important inroads have been made in applications in
radiology, oncology, and ophthalmology. Although much significant
work in this field is taking place in Europe, it is in the United
States and Japan that the level of activity is highest."
