Abstract

We have used advanced signal processing and innovative image processing methods that are used outside the operating room. The software is written in C⁺⁺ in a windows environment and can be used on any PC. We will demonstrate some applications on a laptop. Applications with computational intelligence for diagnostic purposes and as visualization aids are demonstrated, include blood cell classification, mammography, evoked potentials, ophthalmology, EEG and field potentials in Parkinson´s disease. The latter methods along with 3D reconstruction of MRI images of Parkinsonian patients, are currently used in the operating room for Pallidotomies
