Principles of Medical Imaging for Engineers introduces fundamental concepts related to why we image and what we are seeking to achieve to get good images, such as the meaning of ?contrast? in the context of medical imaging. This introductory text separates the principles by which ?signals? are generated and the subsequent ?reconstruction? processes, to help illustrate that these are separate concepts and also highlight areas in which apparently different medical imaging methods share common theoretical principles. Exercises are provided in every chapter, so the student reader can test their knowledge and check against worked solutions and examples. The text considers firstly the underlying physical principles by which information about tissues within the body can be extracted in the form of signals, considering the major principles used: transmission, reflection, emission and resonance. Then, it goes on to explain how these signals can be converted into images, i.e., full 3D volumes, where appropriate showing how common methods of ?reconstruction? are shared by some imaging methods despite relying on different physics to generate the ?signals?. Finally, it examines how medical imaging can be used to generate more than just pictures, but genuine quantitative measurements, and increasingly measurements of physiological processes, at every point within the 3D volume by methods such as the use of tracers and advanced dynamic acquisitions. Principles of Medical Imaging for Engineers will be of use to engineering and physical science students and graduate students with an interest in biomedical engineering, and to their lecturers. 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aSignal processing 606 $aRadiology 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering 606 $aSignal, Speech and Image Processing 606 $aRadiology 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aSignal processing. 615 0$aRadiology. 615 14$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aSignal, Speech and Image Processing . 615 24$aRadiology. 676 $a610.28 676 $a616.0754 700 $aChappell$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0762987 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349441503321 996 $aPrinciples of Medical Imaging for Engineers$92115703 997 $aUNINA
