Covering the basics of X-rays, CT, PET, nuclear medicine, ultrasound,


and MRI, this textbook provides senior undergraduate and beginning
graduate students with a broad introduction to medical imaging. Over
130 end-of-chapter exercises are included, in addition to solved
example problems, which enable students to master the theory as well
as providing them with the tools needed to solve more difficult
problems. The basic theory, instrumentation and state-of-the-art
techniques and applications are covered, bringing students
immediately up-to-date with recent developments, such as combined

computed tomography/positron emission tomography, multi-slice CT,
four-dimensional ultrasound, and parallel imaging MR technology. Clinical examples provide
practical applications of physics and engineering knowledge to medicine. Finally, helpful
references to specialised texts, recent review articles, and relevant scientific journals are provided
at the end of each chapter, making this an ideal textbook for a one-semester course in medical
imaging.
