<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Handbook of Research on Advanced Techniques in Diagnostic Imaging and<BR>Biomedical Applications will include most recent state of the art methodologies in the area<BR>of biomedical imaging in Diagnostic and Decision Support Systems and their applications in<BR>clinical practice. Its main task is the integration of several types of biomedical images from<BR>simple to fused forms in diagnostic and biomedical applications. The handbook of research<BR>will provide methods and techniques concerning the integration of medical and biological<BR>images into diagnostic and decision support systems towards more reliable diagnostic,<BR>prognostic and therapeutic procedures. The integration of biomedical images and intelligent<BR>up-to-day methodologies will provide advanced diagnostic tools with high interpretation<BR>efficiency. The handbook of research will provide the state of the art, as well as, the latest<BR>developments and results from researchers in the field. The handbook will also include<BR>extensive references within each article which an interested reader may wish to pursue.<BR>Topics include but are not limited to:</FONT></DIV>
