The discovery of x-ray, as a landmark event, enabled us to see the
"invisible," opening a new era in medical diagnostics. More
importantly, it offered a unique undestanding around the
interaction of electromagnetic signal with human tissue and the
utility of its selective absorption, scattering, diffusion, and
reflection as a tool for understanding the physiology, evolution of
disease, and therapy. With contributions from world-class experts,
Medical Imaging: Principles and Practices offers a review of key
imaging modalities with established clinical utilization and
examples of quantitative tools for image analysis, modeling, and
interpretation. The book provides a detailed overview of x-ray
imaging and computed tomography, fundamental concepts in signal
acquisition and processes, followed by an overview of functional
MRI (fMRI) and chemical shift imaging. It also covers topics in
Magnetic Resonance Microcopy, the physics of instrumentation and
signal collection, and their application in clinical practice.
Highlights include a chapter offering a unique perspective on the
use of quantitative PET for its applications in drug discovery and
development, which is rapidly becoming an indispensible tool for
clinical and research applications, and a chapter addressing the
key issues around organizing and searching multimodality data sets,
an increasingly important yet challenging issue in clinical
imaging. Topics include: X-ray imaging and computed tomography MRI
and magnetic resonance microscopy Nuclear imaging Ultrasound
imaging Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) Emerging technologies
for in vivo imaging Contrast-enhanced MRI MR approaches for
osteoarthritis and cardiovascular imaging PET quantitative imaging
for drug development Medical imaging data mining and search The
selection of topics provides readers with an appreciation of the
depth and breadth of the field and the challenges ahead of the
technical and clinical community ofresearchers and practitioners.
