This textbook, intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students, is an introduction to the physical and mathematical
principles used in clinical medical imaging. The first two chapters
introduce basic concepts and useful terms used in medical imaging
and the tools implemented in image reconstruction, while the
following chapters cover an array of topics such as physics of
x-rays and their implementation in planar and computed tomography
(CT) imaging; nuclear medicine imaging and the methods of forming
functional planar and single photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT) images and Clinical imaging using positron emitters as
radiotracers. The book also discusses the principles of MRI pulse
sequencing and signal generation, gradient fields, and the
methodologies implemented for image formation, form flow imaging
and magnetic resonance angiography and the basic physics of
acoustic waves, the different acquisition modes used in medical
ultrasound, and the methodologies implemented for image formation
and flow imaging using the Doppler Effect. By the end of the book,
readers will know what is expected from a medical image, will
comprehend the issues involved in producing and assessing the
quality of a medical image, will be able to conceptually implement
this knowledge in the development of a new imaging modality, and
will be able to write basic algorithms for image reconstruction.
Knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, regular and partial
differential equations, and a familiarity with the Fourier
transform and it applications is expected, along with fluency with
computer programming. The book contains exercises, homework
problems, and sample exam questions that are exemplary of the main
concepts and formulae students would encounter in a clinical
setting.
