Imaging modalities in radiology produce ever-increasing amounts of
data which need to be displayed, optimized, analyzed and archived:
a "big data" as well as an "image processing" problem. Computer
programming skills are rarely emphasized during the education and
training of medical physicists, meaning that many individuals enter
the workplace without the ability to efficiently solve many
real-world clinical problems. This book provides a foundation for
the teaching and learning of programming for medical physicists and
other professions in the field of Radiology and offers valuable
content for novices and more experienced readers alike. It focuses
on providing readers with practical skills on how to implement
MATLAB (R) as an everyday tool, rather than on solving academic and
abstract physics problems. Further, it recognizes that MATLAB is
only one tool in a medical physicist's toolkit and shows how it can
be used as the "glue" to integrate other software and processes
together. Yet, with great power comes great responsibility. The
pitfalls to deploying your own software in a clinical environment
are also clearly explained. This book is an ideal companion for all
medical physicists and medical professionals looking to learn how
to utilize MATLAB in their work. Features Encompasses a wide range
of medical physics applications in diagnostic and interventional
radiology Advances the skill of the reader by taking them through
real-world practical examples and solutions with access to an
online resource of example code The diverse examples of varying
difficulty make the book suitable for readers from a variety of
backgrounds and with different levels of programming experience.
Cover simple modelling approaches as well as full Monte Carlo
simulation of x-ray tubes Bremsstrahlung and characteristic
contributions to the spectrum are discussed in detail Learning is
supported by free open-source software and an online repository of
code.
