Description:

The Physics of Medical Imaging reviews the scientific basis and physical principles underpinning imaging in medicine. The major imaging methods of x-radiology, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance are covered, and minor and promising new techniques are also considered. Following these reviews are several thematic chapters which cover the mathematics of medical imaging, image perception, computational requirements and techniques. Throughout, the reader is encouraged to consider key questions concerning imaging. This profusely illustrated and extensively indexed text will be accessible to the graduate physical scientist, the advanced undergraduate and the research student. It logically complements books on applications of imaging techniques in medicine and will be helpful to the clinician.


Table of Contents:

Introduction - and some challenging questions. In the beginning. Diagnostic radiology with x-rays. Quality assurance and image improvement in diagnostic radiology with x-rays. X-ray transmission computed tomography. Clinical applications of x-ray computed tomography in radiotherapy planning. The physics of radioisotope imaging. Diagnostic ultrasound. Spatially localised nuclear magnetic resonance. Physical aspects of infrared imaging. Imaging of tissue electrical impedence. Imaging by diaphanography. The mathematics of image formation and image processing. Perception and interpretation of images. Computer requirements of imaging systems. Epilogue. Index.


Reviews:

"This is an excellent publication and represents much dedication and hard work on behalf of the authors and, in particular, the Editor."

RAD Magazine, December 1990

"..a valuable text for all concerned with the science of imaging whether in industry or in the health service. All chapters are not only fact-stating but also thought-provoking ... very readable text ..."

RAD Magazine

"Developments in digital radiography, together with an analysis of the computing requirements of the various techniques, complete this excellent text. The authors have done a remarkable job in covering such a wide subject so well in such a short book."

Image Processing Magazine

"Steve Webb has produced a first-class book. Because Physics of Medical Imaging is up-to-date in a rapidly changing field, it is the text of choice for teaching graduate research students in this new and exciting subspeciality of physics."

Physics Today

"This is a book well worth the money and I can strongly recommend it both as desk and bedside reading."
