Reihe: Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

Authored by a leading educator, this book is ideal for medical imaging courses. Rather than focus on imaging modalities, the book delves into the mechanisms of image formation and image quality common to all imaging systems: contrast mechanisms, noise, and spatial and temporal resolution. This is an extensively revised new edition of The Physics of Medical X-Ray Imaging by Bruce Hasegawa (Medical Physics Publishing, 1991). A wide range of modalities are covered including X-ray CT, MRI and SPECT.
