RT Journal Article T1 A low cost matching motion estimation sensor based on the NIOS II microprocessor. A1 González, Diego A1 Botella Juan, Guillermo A1 Meyer Baese, Uwe A1 García Sánchez, Carlos A1 Sanz, Concepción A1 Prieto Matías, Manuel A1 Tirado Fernández, José Francisco AB 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.
