Description
Since the publication of the best-selling, highly acclaimed first edition, the technology and clinical applications of medical imaging have changed significantly.
Gathering these developments into one volume, Webb’s Physics of Medical Imaging, Second Edition presents a thorough update of the basic physics, modern technology and many examples of clinical application across all the modalities of medical imaging. New to the Second EditionExtensive updates to all original chaptersCoverage of state-of-the-art detector technology and computer processing used in medical imaging11 new contributors in addition to the original team of authorsTwo new chapters on medical image processing and multimodality imagingMore than 50 percent new examples and over 80 percent new figuresGlossary of abbreviations, color insert and contents lists at the beginning of each chapterKeeping the material accessible to graduate students, this well-illustrated book reviews the basic physics underpinning imaging in medicine.
It covers the major techniques of x-radiology, computerised tomography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, in addition to infrared, electrical impedance and optical imaging.
The text also describes the mathematics of medical imaging, image processing, image perception, computational requirements and multimodality imaging.
