5th Edition
by Ehsan Samei (Author), Donald J. Peck (Author)
An up-to-date edition of the authoritative text on the physics of medical imaging, written in an accessible format
The extensively revised fifth edition of Hendee's Medical Imaging Physics,
offers a guide to the principles, technologies, and procedures of
medical imaging. Comprehensive in scope, the text contains coverage of
all aspects of image formation in modern medical imaging modalities
including radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, nuclear
imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound.
Since the
publication of the fourth edition, there have been major advances in the
techniques and instrumentation used in the ever-changing field of
medical imaging. The fifth edition offers a comprehensive reflection of
these advances including digital projection imaging techniques, nuclear
imaging technologies, new CT and MR imaging methods, and ultrasound
applications. The new edition also takes a radical strategy in
organization of the content, offering the fundamentals common to most
imaging methods in Part I of the book, and application of those
fundamentals in specific imaging modalities in Part II. These
fundamentals also include notable updates and new content including
radiobiology, anatomy and physiology relevant to medical imaging,
imaging science, image processing, image display, and information
technologies.
The book makes an attempt to make complex content
in accessible format with limited mathematical formulation. The book is
aimed to be accessible by most professionals with lay readers interested
in the subject. The book is also designed to be of utility for imaging
physicians and residents, medical physics students, and medical
physicists and radiologic technologists perpetrating for certification
examinations. The revised fifth edition of Hendee's Medical Imaging Physics continues
to offer the essential information and insights needed to understand
the principles, the technologies, and procedures used in medical
imaging.
