Opis

An innovative, three-dimensional x-ray imaging technique that enhances projection radiography by adding depth resolution, 'Tomosynthesis Imaging' explores tomosynthesis, an emerging limited-angle tomographic imaging technology that is being considered for use in a range of clinical applications, and is currently being used for breast cancer screening and diagnosis.

Recenzje

"A comprehensive assessment of the current technology and application of tomosynthesis … the book can be read cover to cover without significant repeated material, but each chapter can be consulted and used as an independent reference on a specific aspect of tomosynthesis imaging. The experience and competence of all of the authors is evident. This is required reading for physicists and radiologists who are interested in learning about the fundamentals of the technology behind the future of diagnostic radiography and mammography."
—John M Sabol, PhD, GE Healthcare, Doody’s Review
