Opis

Covering both physical as well as mathematical and algorithmic foundations, this graduate textbook provides the reader with an introduction into modern biomedical imaging and image processing and reconstruction. These techniques are not only based on advanced instrumentation for image acquisition, but equally on new developments in image processing and reconstruction to extract relevant information from recorded data. To this end, the present book offers a quantitative treatise of radiography, computed tomography, and medical physics. Contents Introduction Digital image processing Essentials of medical x-ray physics Tomography Radiobiology, radiotherapy, and radiation protection Phase contrast radiography Object reconstruction under nonideal conditions

Recenzje

"While the book is primarily targeted at graduate students as the main audience, there is no doubt that other groups of readership such as researchers and professionals in medical imaging can also fully bene t from the material and the pedagogy of its exposure."
Witold Pedrycz in: Zentralblatt MATH 1397.92004
