Description
Clinical Medical Imaging Physics is based on a course offered at the Radiological Society of North America meeting that is as popular with radiologists as it is with medical imaging physicists. It is the first resource of its kind to address the expanding role of clinical medical physics in radiology and imaging centers around the world. There are several successful texts that address the science and technology of medical imaging. These include Wiley's best-selling Hendee books, Radiation Therapy Physics and Medical Imaging Physics. However, until now there have been no single-source references that offer both the clinical medical physicist and the radiologist a concise, comprehensive resource that addresses the clinical practice and application of medical physics in imaging. Clinical Medical Imaging Physics addresses this glaring deficiency in the reference literature.
Clinical Medical Imaging Physics will surely be recognized as the classic reference for the application of medical physics in clinical medical imaging. The book not only provides a single reference for the existing practice of medical physics, but also addresses the growing need to establish an updated approach to clinical medical imaging physics in light of new realities in healthcare practice, such as the expanding role of clinical medical physics and new non-classical challenges of technologies and operational issues in radiology practice.
The book is designed as a daily clinical and lab reference and could easily be deployed as a textbook for graduate courses in medical imaging physics. Both medical physicists and radiology residents will also find the book useful as a study review for their respective board exams.
