The Physics of Medical Imaging
Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
Key Features:
? This thoroughly updated and modernised edition includes descriptions of many new innovations such as ultrasound tomography, susceptibility contrast MRI, and multimodality imaging (e.g. SPECT-CT), and new chapters on emerging imaging modalities such as optical coherence tomography, phase contrast x-ray imaging, and photoacoustic imaging.
? Contributors are leading scientists, engineers, and clinicians working on cutting edge research in medical imaging.
? The conceptual and mathematical descriptions of the imaging methods are accompanied by over 250 new diagrams and images.
? Contributors have extensive experience of teaching medical imaging physics, ensuring that the content is strongly informed by students' learning experiences, and by an appreciation of the intellectual challenges confronting students encountering new concepts in medical imaging.
This book has been designed to be accessible to readers with a basic physics knowledge wishing to learn about medical imaging for the first time, or to deepen their understanding of diagnostic imaging techniques. This includes undergraduates in physics and engineering, research students, scientists, and healthcare professionals with interests in imaging

Person
I joined the UCL Department of Medical Physics & Bioengineering in 1992 when I vacated a tenure-track position at the University of Utah to take up a 5-year Wellcome Trust Senior Fellowship (later renewed for a further 5 years). I immediately established my own group devoted to the development of clinical prototypes for optical imaging of human subjects, with particular emphasis on the study of the premature infant brain at risk of damage resulting from hypoxia-ischaemia. I have pioneered the technique of time-resolved diffuse optical imaging, and (with Wellcome Trust and industrial support) developed a prototype which is widely regarded as the most sophisticated clinical instrument in optical tomography, utilising unique, ground-breaking technology. My group has published the first (and so far the only) three-dimensional (3D) optical images of the entire infant brain, including 3D functional images. We have also developed a novel optical topography system for real-time display of functional activity in the cortex of adults and children.

System requirements
File format: PDF
Copy-Protection: Adobe-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Install the free reader Adobe Digital Editions prior to download (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or the app PocketBook before downloading (see eBook Help).
- E-reader: Bookeen, Kobo, Pocketbook, Sony, Tolino and many more (only limited: Kindle).
The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
