Opis

This book introduces the classical and modern image reconstruction technologies. It covers topics in two-dimensional (2D) parallel-beam and fan-beam imaging, three-dimensional (3D) parallel ray, parallel plane, and cone-beam imaging. Both analytical and iterative methods are presented. The applications in X-ray CT, SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography), PET (positron emission tomography), and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are discussed. Contemporary research results in exact region-of-interest (ROI) reconstruction with truncated projections, Katsevich s cone-beam filtered backprojection algorithm, and reconstruction with highly under-sampled data are included.   The last chapter of the book is devoted to the techniques of using a fast analytical algorithm to reconstruct an image that is equivalent to an iterative reconstruction. These techniques are the author s most recent research results.   This book is intended for students, engineers, and researchers who are interested in medical image reconstruction. Written in a non-mathematical way, this book provides an easy access to modern mathematical methods in medical imaging. "

Recenzje

"The structure and exposition are very good. Each chapter has a one-page summary that really does capture all the key points of the chapter. There are good explanations of all the scanning methods and how the physics works and how they are implemented. The book gives several alternate algorithms for processing the data, and gives good explanations of their strengths and weaknesses." MAA Reviews
