Authored by a leading educator, this book teaches the fundamental mathematics and physics concepts associated with medical imaging systems. Going beyond mere description of imaging modalities, this book delves into the mechanisms of image formation and image quality common to all imaging systems: contrast mechanisms, noise, and spatial and temporal resolution, making it an important reference for medical physicists and biomedical engineering students. This is an extensively revised new edition of The Physics of Medical X-Ray Imaging by Bruce Hasegawa (Medical Physics Publishing, 1991), and...

Brachytherapy is continuously advancing. Years of accumulated experience have led to clinical evidence of its benefit in numerous clinical sites such as gynecological, prostate, breast, rectum, ocular, and many other cancers. Brachytherapy continues to expand in its scope of practice and complexity, driven by strong academic and commercial research, by advances in competing modalities, and due to the diversity in the political and economic landscape. It is a true challenge for practicing professionals and students to readily grasp the overarching trends of the field, especially of those...

This book covers the basic physics, biomedical engineering, and clinical applications of focused ultrasound therapy, the first book to do so. Focusing on applications in cancer treatment, it reviews the medical physics and bio-effects of focused ultrasound beams on living tissues, dosimetry methods and measurements, image guidance including MRI and ultrasound, treatment delivery systems, and clinical applications. It also gives practical guidelines on patient setup, target localization, treatment planning, and image-guided procedures for the treatment of various tumors.

This book discusses outcome modeling in cancer using analytical and data-driven approaches, both top-down using big data approaches and bottom-up using multi-scale methods. It provides in-depth mathematical background as well as intuitive physical and biological perspectives. Applications in radiation oncology, chemotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy are covered, as well as - in the case of multimodality treatments - span assessment, prediction, prognosis, decision support and clinical trials design. This is in addition to statistical validation of performance and evaluating applicability....
