The enduring legacy of CT is, however, the spur that it gave to the subsequent introduction of tomographic imaging techniques into diagnostic nuclear medicine and the extraordinarily rapid development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) over this period.This book is a non-mathematical introduction to the principles underlying modern medical imaging, taking tomography as its central theme. The first three chapters cover the general principles of tomography, a survey of the atomic and nuclear physics which underpins modern imaging, and a review of the key issues involved in radiation protection. The subsequent chapters deal in turn with X-ray radiography, gamma imaging, MRI and ultrasound. The clinical role of diagnostic imaging is illustrated in the final chapter through the use of fictional clinical histories. Three appendices provide a more mathematical background to the tomographic method, the principles of mathematical Fourier methods, and the mathematics of MRI.This revised edition includes new introductory sections on the relevant physics of molecules in general, and water, in particular. Every chapter now has a table of key points with cross-references to other sections. Several figures have also been revised.The book is intended to provide a broad introductory background to tomographic imaging for two groups of readers: the physics or engineering undergraduate thinking of specializing in medical physics, and the medical student or clinician using tomographic techniques in research and clinical practice. 500 1$3VAN00248200$aˆAn ‰Introduction to the principles of medical imaging$92898803 620 $aGB$dLondon$3VANL000015 700 1$aGuy$bChris$f1947-$3VANV203242$01250594 701 1$aFfytche$bDominic$3VANV203243$01250595 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20260130$gRICA 856 4 $uhttps://rsfhluqqzv.pdcdn1.top/dl2.php?id=176303450&h=cbb599a436acc2515ebd458b4c89bd82&u=cache&ext=pdf&n=An%20introduction%20to%20the%20principles%20of%20medical%20imaging$zEbook free 899 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI INGEGNERIA$1IT-CE0100$2VAN05 912 $aVAN00248199 950 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI INGEGNERIA$d05PREST U 009 $e05UBI1457 20220715 $sBuono 996 $aIntroduction to the principles of medical imaging$92898803 997 $aUNICAMPANIA
