Medical image analysis using advanced fuzzy set theoretic techniques is an exciting and dynamic branch of image processing. Since the introduction of fuzzy set theory, there has been an explosion of interest in advanced fuzzy set theories—such as intuitionistic fuzzy and Type II fuzzy set—that represent uncertainty in a better way.
Medical Image Processing: Advanced Fuzzy Set Theoretic Techniques deals with the application of intuitionistic fuzzy and Type II fuzzy set theories for medical image analysis. Designed for graduate and doctorate students, this higher-level text:
- Provides a brief introduction to advanced fuzzy set theory, fuzzy/intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators, and distance/similarity measures
- Covers medical image enhancement using advanced fuzzy sets, including MATLAB®-based examples to increase contrast of the images
- Describes intuitionistic fuzzy and Type II fuzzy thresholding techniques that separate different regions/leukocyte types/abnormal lesions
- Demonstrates the clustering of unwanted lesions/regions even in the presence of noise by applying intuitionistic fuzzy clustering
- Highlights the edges of poorly illuminated images and uses intuitionistic fuzzy edge detection to find the edges of different regions
- Defines fuzzy mathematical morphology and explores its application using the Lukasiewicz operator, t-norms, and t-conorms
Medical Image Processing: Advanced Fuzzy Set Theoretic Techniques is useful not only for students, but also for teachers, engineers, scientists, and those interested in the field of medical image analysis. A basic knowledge of fuzzy set is required, along with a solid understanding of mathematics and image processing.
"The book treats the most commonly used fuzzy methods in medical image analysis. It does focus on widely used approaches and refrains from methods, which are still under investigations. This increases its value for practitioners, senior students and young researchers… Clearly. The book has been written by a dedicated professional (I do not know the author and have never met her). It should be on the desk of everybody who works on medical image analysis and researching the potentials of fuzzy systems."

"This book focuses on the application of clustering algorithms based on intuitionistic fuzzy set model [s]and their application in segmenting and analyzing medical images. …I would like to keep a copy of the book on my shelf.

"Among the characteristics that make the book Medical Image Processing: Advanced Fuzzy Set Theoretic Techniques a valuable addition to the library of both the medical image processing student and the experienced practitioner, is the detailed and self-contained nature of the subjects treated in each one of the chapters of the book. Moreover, the examples that accompany the theoretical notions of the book, as well as the MATLAB code supporting the applications of fuzzy sets in the area of medical image processing, are of paramount importance for both the novice and the experienced reader.
