Description
Few fields have witnessed such impressive advances as the application of computer technology to radiology. The progress achieved has revolutionized diagnosis and greatly facilitated treatment selection and accurate planning of procedures. This book, written by leading experts from many different countries, provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the role of 3D image processing. The first section covers a wide range of technical aspects in an informative way. This is followed by the main section, in which the principal clinical applications are described and discussed in depth. To complete the picture, the final section focuses on recent developments in functional imaging and computer-aided surgery. This book will prove invaluable to all who have an interest in this complex but vitally important field.
Reviews / Votes
".a timely and well-needed book.a good purchase for anyone interested in 3D imaging, whether a novice or expert. The book is well worth a look and should be of interest to radiologists and anyone else interested in 3D imaging.the editors should be commended for a job well done."
