Andrei Marroquin Use the Convolution of Kernel Matrixes in the Operating Room by using Medical Imaging Techniques. Abstract Medical imaging is an essential aspect in several fields of biomedical engineering, biomedical research and also in clinical practice especially in Operating Rooms and Emergency Rooms. The analysis of all these imaging techniques (MRI, CT scans, PET, X-Rays) generally requires computerized quantification and advance visualization tools. All the images that are obtained from diverse techniques carry useful medical, and physiological information that can be used by physicians for diagnosis or treating a particular disease or just for check ups. The aim of this project is to design a MATLAB program that†¦show more content†¦In fact, medical imaging made it possible to identify diverse abnormalities in humans. These images can be obtained from Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), X-Rays, Ultrasound, positron emission tomography (PET), etc. Analyzing these images usually requires special programs and a user to run the software. All the images that are obtai ned, using different techniques, contain important and useful information for the physician to make a decision. MRIs are widely used by physicians and researchers due to their advantages over other medical imaging techniques. Raymond Vahan Damadian created the MRI machine in 1977 after the discovery of the X-Ray, which was the first technique used to observe denser tissues such as bones [1]. In the case of the MRI, it uses the alignment of the hydrogen atom, and since human bodies are mostly composed of water this was a suitable approach. A powerful superconducting solenoid that produces a strong magnetic field makes the hydrogen atoms point in the direction of the magnet. Once this point is reached, pulses of radio frequency are emitted by antennas that excite the nuclear spin energy transition and an image is formed [1]. Since MRI is a non-invasive procedure (MRI does not use any ionizing radiation like X-Rays) and the resulting images are produced in a high resolution, it is preferable to work with DICOM images from MRI.
