Fundamentals of
Medical Imaging, second edition, is an invaluable technical introduction to each imaging modality, explaining the mathematical and physical principles and giving a clear understanding of how images are obtained and interpreted. Individual chapters cover each imaging modality – radiography, CT, MRI,
nuclear medicine and ultrasound – reviewing the physics of the signal and its interaction with tissue, the image formation or reconstruction process, a discussion of
image quality and equipment, clinical applications and biological effects and safety issues. Subsequent chapters review
image analysis and visualization for diagnosis, treatment and surgery.
New to this edition:
• Appendix of questions and
answers
• New chapter on 3D image visualization
• Advanced mathematical formulae in separate text
boxes
• Ancillary website containing 3D animations: www.cambridge.org/suetens
• Full colour illustrations throughout Engineers, clinicians, mathematicians and physicists will find this an invaluable aid in understanding the physical principles of imaging and their clinical applications
