Medical Imaging

Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles gives an introduction to the mathematical and physical concepts and principles that underlie modern radiological imaging techniques. It explains the basic phenomena and mathematical concepts that are central to the use of physical methods for image formation in biomedicine. By focusing on the physical and mathematical principles, it provides knowledge that will continue to hold true even as technological and other advances change the nature and detail of future medical imaging applications.Written as a pedagogic textbook explaining the principles rather than a technical manual describing imaging methods, Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles is very suitable as a foundational reference for senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers with a background in either biomedical engineering, engineering, applied physics, computer science, and mathematics. It will be a well-thumbed resource throughout a researcher's career.
