Rapid evolution of technical advances in infrared sensor
technology, image processing, "smart" algorithms, databases, and
system integration paves the way for new methods of research and
use in medical infrared imaging. These breakthroughs permit
easy-to-use, high-sensitivity imaging that can address key issues
of diagnostic specificity and engender a new level of diagnostic
standardization, thus enabling the even wider use of infrared
imaging as a viable, non-invasive, lower-cost, safe and accessible
first-line detection modality. Edited by the inventor of the MedATR
concept that leads to the first IR-CAD for the early detection of
breast cancer, Medical Infrared Imaging presents many of the new
ideas, concepts, and technologies that are key to the wider
acceptance of infrared imaging as a revolutionary new standard.
Beginning with the worldwide advances and their medical
applications from a historical perspective, the book provides
detailed and comprehensive information on the technology and
hardware resulting from these innovative breakthroughs that will
make currently contributory infrared information even more
pertinent. The book covers the physics and physiological basis of
thermal imaging, and such cutting-edge concepts as: dynamic thermal
imaging, thermal tomography, the important role of infrared in a
multi-modality imaging setting, and novel processing techniques for
the early detection of breast cancer. A significant portion of the
book introduces new applications such as biometric facial
recognition and the clinical use and quantification of the TAU
technique which uses functional imaging to determine the relevance,
the stage, and the progression of diseases. Effective and
reproducible results are crucial and the book emphasizes the
importance of standardization, calibration, and protocols. Finally,
the editor includes chapters on the use of databases for storage
and retrieval of images and the ethical obligations of infrared
research and clinical practice. As a comprehensive
state-of-the-science and indication of future directions, Medical
Infrared Imaging provides the medical and biomedical engineering
communities with the tools to fully utilize and further advance the
applications of infrared imaging.
