Nearly 200 additional pages of information 220 exercises - most with solutions 650 illustrations 10 appendices and 220 references 24-page index This new, updated and expanded edition of a popular textbook on medical imaging is intended primarily for use by radiology residents and other interested physicians. In a relaxed, straightforward writing style, Dr. Wolbarst pulls together seemingly unrelated pieces of basic science and technology and illustrates how they fit together to form the foundation of medical imaging. He provides a great deal of detailed, practical information on how the various imaging technologies actually work and on the factors that affect their performance. Nearly all of the equations are simple proportionalities, and the meanings of many of them are illustrated in the Exercises. The properties of the linear, exponential and sine functions, and the rudimentary ideas about probability and statistics that are needed, are reviewed in appendices to the chapters where they are introduced. New chapters in this edition include ""Nuclear Cardiology, SPECT, and PET"": ""Spiral and Multi-Slice CT"": ""PACS, IMACS, and the Integrated Digital Department"": and a chapter on emergency response to radiological disasters and the roles that radiologists could assume.
A hundred years ago, a doctor had no way to look within the body of
a patient other than to slice it open. That changed radically at
the turn of the century, with the discovery of X-rays. X-ray and
other forms of diagnostic imaging technology developed slowly but
steadily from then until the 1970s, at which point a revolution
occurred. Made possible largely by the availability of powerful but
inexpensive computers, the rapid and widespread adoption of
computed tomography (CT) and, a decade later, of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) greatly expanded the power of clinical imaging, and
even changed the ways in which physicians view and think about the
human body.
