A concise introduction to the field of image assessment and its application to medical imaging systems. The text progresses from an account of the formation and physical properties of images to a discussion of how the diagnostic medical image conveys information beneficial to the health care of the patient.
Intended for medical physics students and newcomers to the field, as an introduction to the more detailed literature. Also of interest to more experienced workers using diagnostic imaging techniques in radiology, nuclear medicine, ultrasonics and thermography.
