DESCRIPTION:
Students interested in pursuing medical imaging will find this book helpful and should consider adding it to their private collection. It also serves as a good starting point for someone wishing to specialise in a technique." Contemporary Physics . "Well-illustrated line drawings, clinical images, and photographs, more than 300 of which are in color.This book is written well and is easy to read. Anyone teaching undergraduate or graduate courses in medical imaging will greatly benefit from the material in this book." Doody's Review Service"This book will benefit anyone who wishes to learn about one or more of the established medical imaging techniques. Depending on the reader's background, one can easily skip sections on mathematical theories on image formation (especially first-year medical physics students) but still get an understanding of various imaging modalities. It provides enough information to gain a working knowledge of the mathematics and physics of
Medical imaging has become a very important technology in medical diagnosis and treatment. A CD packaged with the book includes all of the images in color, and some animated images.. The remaining chapters cover image analysis and visualization after images are available. After an introduction to digital image processing, the author explains the most important imaging modalities in use today: Radiography, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasonic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine Imaging. This book reveals the mathematical and physical principles of medical imaging and image processing--from how medical images are obtained to how they are used

I bought this because it was 'required' for my graduate I bought this because it was 'required' for my graduate level medical imaging course. It is however, not up to par for what a biomed. eng. or medical physicist would want/need. It is more appropriate for a medical student interested in imaging or a radiology resident. For the course, we quickly ended up referring to Jerry Prince's Medical Imaging Signals and Systems, which goes much more in depth into the math, yet explains it really well.
