Principles of Medical Imaging for Engineers
«
“The well-illustrated book is written in simple language that is suitable for either an introductory course or for self-study. The math and physics prerequisites are rather minimal and well within the skill set of a typical undergraduate sophomore- or junior-level engineering student. … If I were to teach an introductory semester-long course in medical imaging, this book would be my primary choice.” (Vengu Lakshminarayanan, Optics & Photonics News, osa-opn.org, August 13, 2020)

The text considers firstly the underlying physical principles by which information about tissues within the body can be extracted in the form of signals, considering the major principles used: transmission, reflection, emission and resonance. Then, it goes on to explain how these signals can be converted into images, i.e., full 3D volumes, where appropriate showing how common methods of 'reconstruction' are shared by some imaging methods despite relying on different physics to generate the 'signals'. Finally, it examines how medical imaging can be used to generate more than just pictures, but genuine quantitative measurements, and increasingly measurements of physiological processes, at every point within the 3D volume by methods such as the use of tracers and advanced dynamic acquisitions.
Principles of Medical Imaging for Engineers will be of use to engineering and physical science students and graduate students with an interest in biomedical engineering, and to their lecturers.
