Widely regarded as the cornerstone text in the field, the
successful series of editions continues to follow the tradition of
a clear and comprehensive presentation of the physical principles
and operational aspects of medical imaging. The Essential
Physics of Medical Imaging, 4th Edition, is a coherent and thorough
compendium of the fundamental principles of the physics, radiation
protection, and radiation biology that underlie the practice and
profession of medical imaging. Distinguished scientists and
educators from the University of California, Davis, provide
up-to-date, readable information on the production,
characteristics, and interactions of non-ionizing and ionizing
radiation, magnetic fields and ultrasound used in medical imaging
and the imaging modalities in which they are used, including
radiography, mammography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography,
magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. This vibrant,
full-color text is enhanced by more than 1,000 images, charts, and
graphs, including hundreds of new illustrations. This text is a
must-have resource for medical imaging professionals, radiology
residents who are preparing for Core Exams, and teachers and
students in medical physics and biomedical
engineering.  Features a new introductory overview,
plus new information on informatics-oriented concepts, multisource
and other x-ray tubes, new quality control procedures for digital
radiography, digital breast tomosynthesis, dedicated breast CT,
best practices in minimizing fluoroscopy dose to patients and
staff, dosimetry in x-ray imaging, 3T and 7T MRI, MR artifacts and
solutions, ultrasound elastography, nuclear cardiology,Â
total-body PET imaging, and much more. Provides clear but detailed
explanations of the basic science important to nuclear imaging,
including the physical properties and production of radioactivity,
radiation detection and measurement and completely updated chapters
on radiopharmaceuticals and internal dosimetry, SPECT and PET/CT.
Addresses topics common to all forms of diagnostic imaging,
including image quality and medical informatics as well as the
non-ionizing medical imaging modalities of MRI and ultrasound.
Introduces a completely updated radiation biology section with
current concepts in biological effects at the molecular, cellular
and organ systems levels as well as the acute radiation syndrome
and the latest assessment of potential biological effects to the
fetus, children and adults from medical imaging procedures, as well
as principles for effective risk communication. Updates the
radiation protection section relevant to all aspects of medical
imaging to the latest concepts in patient and staff protection,
including current Joint Commission and regulatory quality assurance
requirements, as well as radiological emergency medical
management.Â
Ideal for study, review, or self-assessment, The Essential Physics
of Medical Imaging Study Guide is an easy-to-use, interactive
resource for learning and retaining core information in the physics
of medical imaging. Whether used as a supplement to The Essential
Physics of Medical Imaging, 4th Edition, or as a stand-alone review
tool, this new study guide helps you gain a deeper understanding of
this complex field, while preparing you for exams and clinical
practice. It's an essential resource for radiology residents and
practitioners, medical physicists, and radiation oncologists, as
well as radiology technicians and nuclear medicine technicians who
need a reliable, up-to-date review of medical physics, federal
radiation control standards and regulations, radiation safety, and
radiation biology. References between the main textbook and the
study guide provide more detailed answers to questions that arise
as you study. Provides four helpful sections for study and review:
Section 1 distills key concepts for each chapter in textbook in
outline format. Section 2 includes more than 1,000 image-rich
questions and answers with page numbers from the main text for
further detail; eBook questions and answers are interactive.
Section 3 consolidates key equations for each chapter with page
numbers from the main text where the equation is introduced and
discussed. Enrich Your eBook Reading Experience Read directly on
your preferred device(s), such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Easily convert to audiobook, powering your content with natural
language text-to-speech.
This book emphasizes the new advances in imaging technology,
covering all of the inherently digital imaging modalities such as
computed radiography, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine.
Digital Image Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standards provide
the path to integration of an electronic network and PACS comprised
of digital imaging modalities, image workstations, and image
archive. Knowledge of these standards is essential to ensure a
successful PACS implementation, for which the medical physicist
takes a primary responsibility. Therefore, the focus of this book
is to provide the medical physicist and other interested
individuals with tools and information to become conversant with
the details of DICOM, and to enable the verification of optimal
image acquisition, display, archiving, and quality control of PACS
in the clinical environment.
