Medical Imaging Physicsby William R. Hendee, E. Russell Ritenour |
| This comprehensive publication covers all aspects
of image formation in modern medical imaging modalities, from
radiography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography, to magnetic resonance
imaging and ultrasound. It addresses the techniques and instrumentation
used in the rapidly changing field of medical imaging. Now in its
fourth edition, this text provides the reader with the tools necessary
to be comfortable with the physical principles, equipment, and
procedures used in diagnostic imaging, as well as appreciate the
capabilities and limitations of the technologies. Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Provides the tools necessary to be comfortable with the physical principals, technology concepts, equipment, and procedures used in diagnostic imaging, as well the technological capabilities and limitations of the discipline. Contains halftone illustrations. For physicians and residents in radiology and nuclear medicine. All medical imaging, including x-ray imaging, computed tomography, ultrasonography, nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, is grounded in physics. Medical Imaging Physics presents the physics underlying medical imaging in a comprehensive and comprehensible manner. This book is helpful to physicians, physicists and engineers working in medical imaging, but can be understood by any non-specialist with a college background that includes science and engineering courses. |
