Abstract
Medical image processing is the meeting of two sciences that behave in completely different ways. While medicine is a science where experience plays a majors role and where the practical use is evident, image processing—as a derivative of applied mathematics—is a more theoretical discipline. Hence, the conditions of this meeting need to be analyzed sophisticatedly; not everything possible to implement is useful, and not everything useful is possible to implement.
