The aim of this book is to outline the concept of entropy, various
types of entropies and their implementation to evaluate a variety
of biomedical signals/images. The book emphasizes various
entropy-based image pre-processing methods which are essential for
the development of suitable computerized examination systems. The
recent research works on biomedical signal evaluation confirms that
signal analysis provides vital information regarding the
physiological condition of the patient, and the efficient
evaluation of these signals can help to diagnose the nature and the
severity of the disease. This book emphasizes various entropy-based
image pre-processing methods which are essential for the
development of suitable computerized examination systems for the
analysis of biomedical images recorded with a variety of
modalities. The work discusses the image pro-processing methods
with the Entropies, such as Kapur, Tsallis, Shannon and Fuzzy on a
class of RGB-scaled and gray-scaled medical pictures. The
performance of the proposed technique is justified with the help of
suitable case studies, which involves x-ray image analysis, MRI
analysis and CT analysis. This book is intended for medical
signal/image analysts, undergraduate and postgraduate students,
researchers, and medical scientists interested in biomedical data
evaluation.
This book will help practicing mental health professionals
understand the sometimes intricate responsibility of breaching
clinical confidentiality when clients become dangerous to
themselves or others. It examines the basis for clinical
confidentiality, presents methods for the evaluation of client
dangerousness, and proposes legally and ethically permissible
methods to breach confidentiality. The Danger-to-Self-or-Others
Exception to Confidentiality contains case-law updates which should
help practitioners with situations that require the breach of
confidentiality. This text strives to clear up some of the
confusing issues surrounding suicide evaluation, death with
dignity, inherently dangerous populations, and the role of client
commitment in the breach-of-confidentiality process. Ahia also
discusses two important concepts - informed consent and privileged
communication - as they relate to the rights of clients.
This second edition of Legal and Ethical Dictionary for Mental
Health Professionals confronts the problems arising from a lack of
clear understanding of mental health laws or terminologies. Case
law continues to show that mental health professionals (MHPS) lose
cases because they base their professional actions on incorrect
definitions or misunderstandings of legal and ethical terms. Some
have been professionally sanctioned or had their licenses revoked
as a result of making professional decisions or actions based upon
improper understanding of confusing language. This dictionary
provides MHPS with clear and concise definitions of legal and
ethical terminologies. To enhance the professional's understanding,
a professional significance section has been added after the
definitions to further comprehension of practical dimensions of the
words and to aid in legal and ethical decision-making.

action on the wrong definition of legal or ethical terminology.
Many have also been sanctioned or their license revoked because of
professional actions arising from a lack of clear understanding of
these terminologies. This dictionary confronts this problem by
providing MHPS with clear, concise, and functional definitions of
many legal and ethical terminologies. A review of the meaning of
these terms before a professional action or activity is sure to
enhance compliance with ethical and legal standards and
regulations. The addresses and phone numbers of state licensure
boards for counselors, psychologists and social workers are
included to facilitate consultation in related issues not
specifically covered by definitions.
