Post-processing image analysis techniques have played an important role in advanced medical imaging modalities. Texture analysis, originally used to evaluate the integrity of television and computer monitor screens, has started to be used in diagnostic image analysis techniques. Texture analyses involve an extraction of subtle texture features from the image which are then used for a variety of classification tasks such as distinguishing normal from abnormal tissue. Texture analysis offers a quantitative method for detecting subtle changes within an image based on local spatial patterns and pixel intensities. The purpose of this exhibit is to: 1. Describe the basics of texture analysis and parameters that make up texture analysis. 2. Discuss a variety roles of texture analysis in diagnostic imaging.

1. Review basic technique and fundamentals of texture analysis 2. Review role of texture analysis in diagnostic imaging -CT and MRI uses for texture analysis in medical imaging -Role of texture analysis in quantitatively defining image quality 3. Describe uses of texture analysis for different regions of the body -hepatic fibrosis -tumor classification: brain, liver, etc -osseous mineralization 4. Potential future applications for texture analysis
