The Role of Images in Biomedicine
Images play a key supporting role in biomedicine
Some biomedical image domains:
gel electrophoresis (
1-D
and
2-D protein
, RNA and DNA materials)
HPLC spectra
, capillary electrophoresis, mass-spectrometry, chromatography
serial section images produced by various microtome methods
projections of reconstructed 3D views:
Visual Human anatomy
2D projections of
3D molecular models
medical X-rays for comparing bone growth or tumor progression
MRI
or PET imaging
MRM
(MRI microscopy)
sequence logos
RNA structure comparison dot matrices
2D DNA gels using restriction enzymes
spectra, time series or graphs (of anything)
problem domains which produce misaligned or distorted images
problem domains which lose alignment during data acquisition
groupware consultations on the same set of images
