Book Description

ISBN-10: 0780311477 | ISBN-13: 978-0780311473 | Publication Date: October 24, 1997 | Edition: 1

Brimming with top articles from experts in signal processing and biomedical engineering, Time Frequency and Wavelets in Biomedical Signal Processing introduces time-frequency, time-scale, wavelet transform methods, and their applications in biomedical signal processing. This edited volume incorporates the most recent developments in the field to illustrate thoroughly how the use of these time-frequency methods is currently improving the quality of medical diagnosis, including technologies for assessing pulmonary and respiratory conditions, EEGs, hearing aids, MRIs, mammograms, X rays, evoked potential signals analysis, neural networks applications, among other topics.

Time Frequency and Wavelets in Biomedical Signal Processing will be of particular interest to signal processing engineers, biomedical engineers, and medical researchers.

Topics covered include:

• Time-frequency analysis methods and biomedical applications
• Wavelets, wavelet packets, and matching pursuits and biomedical applications
• Wavelets and medical imaging
• Wavelets, neural networks, and fractals

This review is from: Time Frequency and Wavelets in Biomedical Signal Processing (IEEE Press Series on Biomedical Engineering) (Hardcover)

Wanted Teacher. This book teaches us how to use wavelet on Biomedical Signal Processing, and the detailed usage of wavelet grammar and applications. It also explains how to apply the wavelet signal compression and detection technique for the imaging system such as MRI and X-ray images. We medical data processing team want to say thanks to the author for your providing the good source of material on medical computing. Bravo!
