Quantitative Imaging in the Thorax
Description
The main purpose of this book is to provide details of quantitative imaging from extraction of data from CT and MR images and incorporation into models for clinical translation and application. Individual chapters feature experts from around the world and covers all aspects of quantitative imaging in the thorax, from screening to diagnosis and management. This book also features chapters dedicated to radiomics and radiogenomics.
This is an ideal guide for radiologists, physicians, and data scientists working towards a common ground in quantitative imaging.
