Medical Image Medical Imaging degree? What universities in Michigan offer this?
i know that sounds a little dumb, i can't seem to word it right. but anyways, that's what i'm interested in, and i'd like to go to college and take courses that help me major in something like diagnostic medical radiology, such as ultrasound or MRI's or something. i really have NO idea where to start or what to even ask when i visit colleges. help please?
You can find accredited radiography programs here: https://www.arrt.org/index.html?content=nd/listOfSchools.ndm/listSchools&iframe=yes and sonography programs here: http://caahep.org/Find-An-Accredited-Program/
You can train in MRI after becoming a radiographer.

Digital image processing and analysis covers large topics such as image acquisition, image preprocessing, enhancement, segmentation and classification. Medical image segmentation and analysis algorithms differ from traditional images due to their basic nature of image characteristics. In this work the authors discussed the elementary image segmentation concepts and used the elementary and advanced techniques to segment and analyze the medical images. Different image segmentation techniques like color characteristic based segmentation and analysis, watershed segmentation techniques, active contours and graph based methods are applied for segmentation and results are presented here.

Image registration is the process of systematically placing separate images in a common frame of reference so that the information they contain can be optimally integrated or compared. This is becoming the central tool for image analysis, understanding, and visualization in both medical and scientific applications. Medical Image Registration provides the first comprehensive coverage of this emerging field. This monograph details the theory, technology, and practical implementations in a variety of medical settings. International experts thoroughly explain why image registration is important, describe its applications in a nonmathematical way, and include rigorous analysis for those who plan to implement algorithms themselves. It is accessible and informative to those new to the field, yet it provides indepth treatment for the expert. With its practical examples, extensive illustrations, and comprehensible approach, Medical Image Registration is a must have guide for medical physicists, clinicians, and researchers.

The expanded and revised edition will split Chapter 4 to include more details and examples in FMRI, DTI, and DWI for MR image modalities. The book will also expand ultrasound imaging to 3-D dynamic contrast ultrasound imaging in a separate chapter. A new chapter on Optical Imaging Modalities elaborating microscopy, confocal microscopy, endoscopy, optical coherent tomography, fluorescence and molecular imaging will be added. Another new chapter on Simultaneous Multi-Modality Medical Imaging including CT-SPECT and CT-PET will also be added. In the image analysis part, chapters on image reconstructions and visualizations will be significantly enhanced to include, respectively, 3-D fast statistical estimation based reconstruction methods, and 3-D image fusion and visualization overlaying multi-modality imaging and information. A new chapter on Computer-Aided Diagnosis and image guided surgery, and surgical and therapeutic intervention will also be added.
Image segmentation is an essential step in many advanced imaging applications, e.g., object tracking, pattern recognition, volume measurements, medical image analysis, and in the image guided procedures. Among the several types of images, magnetic resonance images (MRI), which represent the intensity variation of radio waves generated by biological systems when exposed to radio frequency pulses, have proved to be an effective imaging modality for imaging the inner tissues of the human. In this work, we have introduce new multiresolution algorithms for image segmentation that extend the wellknown Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. The conventional EM algorithm has prevailed many other segmentation algorithms because of its simplicity and performance. However, it is found to be highly sensitive to noise. Multiresolution analysis has been used in order to take into account the effect of neighborhood pixels in the classification process to minimizes the sensitivity to noise. Different data sets were used to measure the performance of the proposed algorithms. The results show that the performance of the proposed algorithms has much increased over the conventional EM.

Intensitybased 2D3D medical image registration is a special case of the pose estimation problem from computer vision with many applications in medicine. This work presents an overview of the 2D3D intensitybased image registration problem in the medical domain as well as results from several methods developed to aid in its practice. In particular: 1) Light field rendering techniques from the graphics community are extended to rapidly generate digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs). 2) A full 2D3D registration algorithm using light field DRRs is presented and validated against a real, clinical gold standard. 3) A new, hybrid similarity measure is presented that is a weighted combination of an intensitybased image similarity measure and a pointbased measure incorporating a single fiducial marker. 4) Finally, a novel similarity measure called regional mutual information (RMI) is introduced. RMI is an extension of mutual information which incorporates spatial information in a principled way. The additional spatial information helps make its use as a similarity measure much more robust to initial misregistration than standard mutual information.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of medical image analysis. Practical in approach, the text is uniquely structured by potential applications. Features: presents learning objectives, exercises and concluding remarks in each chapter, in addition to a glossary of abbreviations; describes a range of common imaging techniques, reconstruction techniques and image artefacts; discusses the archival and transfer of images, including the HL7 and DICOM standards; presents a selection of techniques for the enhancement of contrast and edges, for noise reduction and for edge-preserving smoothing; examines various feature detection and segmentation techniques, together with methods for computing a registration or normalisation transformation; explores object detection, as well as classification based on segment attributes such as shape and appearance; reviews the validation of an analysis method; includes appendices on Markov random field optimization, variational calculus and principal component analysis.

Creating New Medical Ontologies for Image Annotation focuses on the problem of the medical images automatic annotation process, which is solved in an original manner by the authors. All the steps of this process are described in detail with algorithms, experiments and results. The original algorithms proposed by authors are compared with other efficient similar algorithms. In addition, the authors treat the problem of creating ontologies in an automatic way, starting from Medical Subject Headings (MESH). They have presented some efficient and relevant annotation models and also the basics of the annotation model used by the proposed system: Cross Media Relevance Models. Based on a text query the system will retrieve the images that contain objects described by the keywords.

Any software that does adaptive wavelet image compression?
I'm a undergraduate student doing a project which studies the feasibility of adaptive wavelet thresholding in medical image compression
However, I need to look for a program that can do such image compression.
So, anyone knows about such software?
Thank you.
Right now, that is still considered state-of-the-art, so most commercial companies will not be willing to divulge their 'secrets'.
There will be several PhD and Master's papers in some University libraries, or published in scientific type journals that handle this type of thing. But, you'll need access to those libraries and journals (which I cannot link to in this answer).
The reference librarian at your science and engineering library would be a better person to ask.
