Catalog description

Description: A comprehensive introduction to the physics and engineering foundations of the standard medical imaging modalities used today. Topics include radiation, radiation-interaction with matter, X-ray radiography, ultrasonography, X-ray computed tomography, image reconstruction and analysis, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear radiation based imaging, and image monitoring aspects of radiation therapy. The fundamental mathematics underlying each imaging modality is reviewed and the hardware needed to implement each system is examined.
