Information Technology in Biomedicine is an interdisciplinary research area, thatbridges the gap between methodological achievements in engineering and clinicalrequirements in medical diagnosis and therapy. In this book, members of the academicsociety of technical and medical background present their research results and clinicalimplementation in order to satisfy the functional requirements of authorizedphysicians for the benefit of the patients. An extended area is covered by the articles. It includes biomedical signals, medical image processing, computer-aided diagnosis and surgery, biometrics, healthcare and telemedicine, biomechanics, biomaterials, bioinformatics. Section on bronchoscopy presents the basis as well as new research studies performed in this field.Papers present various theoretical approaches and new methodologies based onfuzzy sets, mathematical statistics, mathematical morphology, fractals, wavelets,syntactic methods, artificial neural networks, graphs and many others.
