Abstract

This article introduces the research field of digital image analysis and simulation applied to medicine.

Although the number of medical images produced in the world increases each year, their quantitative exploitation for diagnosis and therapy remains quite suboptimal.

This article reviews the potentialities offered by the research in digital image analysis and simulation, and presents a short survey of the state of the art.
