Image and Signal Processing for Networked eHealth Applications (Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering)

Buy
In all societies and in all eras, health has been an issue of major importance. Our times are, of course, no different in this, except for one thing: the kind and amount of resources available to us are augmented. During the last couple of centuries, technology has certainly been the most important new resource made available to mankind. Thus, we have witnessed the generation of a large series of new tools and devices that have helped the field of medicine progress and enhance the services it is able to offer.

In our time, it is computers and communication technology that have this role in all aspects of human activities, including medicine. As the computer-based patient record system expands to support more clinical activities, healthcare organizations are asking physicians and nurses to interact increasingly with computer systems to perform their duties.We have already seen the development of a number of medical information systems and, a few years back, we witnessed the birth of telemedicine with the utilization of networking in the field of medicine.

As work in this direction progresses, medicine, medical information systems, and networking become more closely integrated, forming the area of e-Health and more specifically the field of networked and distributed e-Health.

Although e-Health has already provided a number of useful tools and applications, clearly showing its potential, it is still a field in its very early stages. As is often the case when a field has not yet matured, its literature is distributed in a wide range of publications of related fields.

This makes it hard for researchers to monitor the state of the art and for new researchers to enter the field, both of which have the negative effect of slowing down the growth of the field. In this book, we review the field of networked and distributed e-Health, hoping to provide a solid starting point for anyone interested in this marvelous science. Readers will find the chapters to be short and concise, briefly covering main achievements and estimated future directions in each important component of networked e-health applications, while at the same time offering a considerable number of current references for further reading.

We hope that the material included in this book will assist the potential reader to learn about the state of the art and future trends in the field of networked e-health applications and telemedicine and its supporting technologies.

Mathematical Problems in Image Processing
Mathematical Problems in Image Processing
It is surprising when we realize just how much we are surrounded by images. Images allow us not only to perform complex tasks on a daily basis, but also to communicate, transmit information, represent and understand the world around us. Just think, for instance about digital television, medical imagery, video-surveillance, etc....

Islamic Leviathan: Islam and the Making of State Power (Religion and Global Politics)
Over the course of the past two decades Islamism has exercised a growing influence on politics in Muslim countries from Morocco to Malaysia. In some instances this trend has led to regime change as in Iran and Sudan, but more often, it has ensconced Islamic norms, symbols, and rhetoric in the public sphere, and in the process,...
