The book takes up the cudgels and shows the current state of the art on the subject to tackle the problems in the right earnest to the satisfaction of all concerned. Computers, now image, segment, measure, study and compare the data create from the images of both the disputed and the standards, thus converting the oft-stressed subjectivity of the matter into objectivity advocating departure from the past and aims at ringing in the new ascendant discarding the old and redundant.
