From the Watching of Shadows: The Origins of Radiological
Tomography presents the first complete history of body imaging by
discrete sections, from its earliest beginnings around 1920 to
modern times. Divided into two parts, the book is highly
illustrated with many original figures from patents and some
previously unpublished pictures. The first part covers classical
tomography from 1920 to the 1960s, including the origins of
radiological tomography. The second part takes a fresh look at
computed transmission and emission tomography that includes recent
developments by pioneering tomographers. Tables in each chapter
summarize key historical landmarks. The book also includes an
extensive glossary of technical terms and a comprehensive index. It
is ideal reading for diagnostic radiologists and radiographers
interested in the origins of their techniques, for practicing
medical physicists, and for historians of medicine and science.
