ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents range of topics and applications to demonstrate the impressive impact of CAD and related fields of study on health care of the entire human body. It presents CAD methods for analysis of dental panoramic radiographs for screening and efficient diagnosis of oral as well as systemic diseases, such as osteoporosis. The book highlights the importance of using CAD methods to derive an accurate initial assessment, which is crucial to the evolution and response to treatment of the burn wound. It demonstrates that CAD techniques can be designed to detect bilateral asymmetry in mammograms. The book discusses the potential applications and limitations of CBIR systems in the clinical environment. It explains how signal and image processing algorithms for biomedical and CAD applications can be integrated with models and schema drawn from the domain of informatics for improved management of patient care.
