Medical Imaging

Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles gives an introduction to the mathematical and physical concepts and principles that underlie modern radiological imaging techniques. It explains the basic phenomena and mathematical concepts that are central to the use of physical methods for image formation in biomedicine. By focusing on the physical and mathematical principles, it provides knowledge that will continue to hold true even as technological and other advances change the nature and detail of future medical imaging applications. Written as a pedagogic textbook explaining the principles rather than a technical manual describing imaging methods, Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles is very suitable as a foundational reference for senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers with a background in either biomedical engineering, engineering, applied physics, computer science, and mathematics. It will be a well-thumbed resource throughout a researcher’s career. Written by a top team of highly respected researchers who between them have taught medical imaging for over a hundred years! Focuses on the physical and mathematical principles to provide everlasting foundational knowledge Balanced coverage between the modalities reflecting the authors’ areas of expertise. Provides a motivational historical overview of the field Closely ties the physical principles to biology. Includes instructors support such as solutions and slides of the figures Provides computational exercises.
