Covering the basics of X-rays, CT, PET, nuclear medicine, ultrasound and MRI, this
textbook provides senior undergraduate and beginning graduate students with a broad
introduction to medical imaging. Over 130 end-of-chapter exercises are included, in
addition to solved example problems, which enable students to master the theory as well
as providing them with the tools needed to solve more difficult problems. The basic
theory, instrumentation and state-of-the-art techniques and applications are covered,
bringing students immediately up-to-date with recent developments, such as combined
computed tomography/positron emission tomography, multi-slice CT, four-dimensional
ultrasound and parallel imaging MR technology. Clinical examples provide practical
applications of physics and engineering knowledge to medicine. Finally, helpful refer-
ences to specialized texts, recent review articles and relevant scientific journals are
provided at the end of each chapter, making this an ideal textbook for a one-semester
course in medical imaging.
