Sommario/riassunto |
|
PET and SPECT are two of today's most important medical-imaging methods, providing images that reveal subtle information about physiological processes in humans and animals. Emission Tomography: The Fundamentals of PET and SPECT explains the physics and engineering principles of these important functional-imaging methods. The technology of emission tomography is covered in detail, including historical origins, scientific and mathematical foundations, imaging systems and their components, image reconstruction and analysis, simulation techniques, and clinical and laboratory applications.

Sommario/riassunto |

This book, 'Halsey at Leyte Gulf: Command Decision and Disunity of Effort' by Kent Stephen Coleman, explores the strategic and command challenges during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944. It examines the complexities of the US naval operations against the Japanese forces during World War II in the Pacific theater. The narrative focuses on the divided command structure between US Third Fleet under Adm. Halsey and Seventh Fleet under Vice Adm. Kinkaid, highlighting the communication and coordination issues that arose. Despite the ultimate victory for the US Navy, the book scrutinizes Adm. Halsey's controversial decision to pursue a Japanese decoy carrier force, which exposed American forces to potential danger. The book is intended for military historians and those interested in naval warfare, providing |

insight into the operational dynamics and leadership decisions that shaped the course of the battle. |
