Medical Imaging Based on Magnetic Fields and Ultrasounds (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Fanet, Hervé

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book describes the different principles and equipment used in medical imaging. The importance of medical imaging for diagnostics is rapidly increasing. A good working knowledge of all the different possible physical principles involved in medical imaging is now imperative. This book covers many of these principles including matter photon interactions, the principles of detectors, detectors and information processing for radiology, X-ray tomography, positron tomography, single photon tomography and optical tomography.
