The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging

The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging FOURTH EDIHON Jerrold . Bushberg, PhD J.Antony Seibert PhD Edwin M. Leidholdt ir, PhD Johy-M BoonepPhD Widely regarded has the cornerstone text in the field, The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, Fourth Edition, is a clear, concise and thorough guide to the fundamental principles of medical imaging physics, radiation protection, and radiation biology. Renowned medical physics experts from the university of California, basis, provide up-to-date, readable information on the production characteristics and interactions of ionizing radiation used in medical imaging and the imaging. modalities in which they are used, including radiography, mammography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, and RUcear medicine. The text also provides thorough coverage of the non-ionizing medical imaging modalities of MRI and ultrasound. This vibrant, full-color text is enhanced by more than 1,000 image, charts, and graphs, including hundreds of new illustrations. It's a must have resource for medical imaging professionals, and teachers and students in medical physics and biomedical engineering, as well as radiology residents who are preparing for Core Exams. Features introductory overview, plus new information on informatics-oriented concepts multisource and other x-ray tubes/new quality procedures for digital radiography, digital breast tomosynthesis, dedicated breast CT, best practices in minimizing fluoroscopy dose to patients and staff, dosimetry in x-ray imaging, 3T and 7T MRI, MR artifacts end solutions, nuclear cardiology and a whole -body PET imaging, and much more.
