✦ Synopsis

Visual Computing for Medicine, Second Edition, offers cutting-edge visualization techniques and their applications in medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book includes algorithms, applications, and ideas on achieving reliability of results and clinical evaluation of the techniques covered. Preim and Botha illustrate visualization techniques from research, but also cover the information required to solve practical clinical problems. They base the book on several years of combined teaching and research experience. This new edition includes six new chapters on treatment planning, guidance and training an updated appendix on software support for visual computing for medicine and a new global structure that better classifies and explains the major lines of work in the field. - Complete guide to visual computing in medicine, fully revamped and updated with new developments in the field - Illustrated in full color - Includes a companion website offering additional content for professors, source code, algorithms, tutorials, videos, exercises, lessons, and more
