Implementation of a Low-Cost Mobile Devices to Support Medical Diagnosis

Abstract EN

Medical imaging has become an absolutely essential diagnostic tool for clinical practices; at present, pathologies can be detected with an earliness never before known.

Its use has not only been relegated to the field of radiology but also, increasingly, to computer-based imaging processes prior to surgery.

Motion analysis, in particular, plays an important role in analyzing activities or behaviors of live objects in medicine.

This short paper presents several low-cost hardware implementation approaches for the new generation of tablets and/or smartphones for estimating motion compensation and segmentation in medical images.

These systems have been optimized for breast cancer diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging technology with several advantages over traditional X-ray mammography, for example, obtaining patient information during a short period.

This paper also addresses the challenge of offering a medical tool that runs on widespread portable devices, both on tablets and/or smartphones to aid in patient diagnostics.
