NEWFundamentals of Medical Imaging, 2nd Edition Paul Suetens, University Hospital Leuven, Belgium This second edition, is an invaluable technical introduction to each imaging modality, explaining the mathematical and physical principles. It gives a clear understanding of how images are obtained and interpreted. Individual chapters cover each imaging modality; radiography, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine and ultrasound. It reviews the physics of the signal and its interaction with tissue, the image formation or reconstruction process, a discussion of image quality and equipment, clinical applications and biological effects and safety issues. It looks at image analysis and visualization for diagnosis, treatment and surgery.

An invaluable aid for engineers, clinicians, mathematicians and physicists in understanding the physical principles of imaging and their clinical applications.

Doris D. M. Lin, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine In vivo magnetic resonance spectrosopy (MRS) is increasingly being used in the clinical setting, particularly for neurological disorders. This in-depth text explains both the underlying physical principles of MRS and provides a perceptive review of clinical MRS applications.

Topics covered include an introduction to MRS physics, information content of spectra from different organ systems, spectral analysis methods, recommended protocols and localization techniques, and normal age and region related spectral variations in the brain. Clinical applications in the brain are discussed for brain tumors, hypoxic and ischemic injury, infectious, inflammatory and demyelinating diseases, epilepsy, neurodegenerative disorders, trauma and metabolic diseases. Outside of the brain, techniques and applications are discussed for MRS in the musculosketal system, breast and prostate.

An invaluable guide to in vivo MRS, including radiologists, 9neurologists, neurosurgeons, oncologists and medical researchers

…a very useful book, especially as a supporting text for teaching Medical Imaging to physicists and engineers and I strongly recommend it for this purpose. It would also form a useful addition to a departmental library.

David Barber, Medical Engineering &

Physics on the 1st ed

Congratulations … a book that bridges a gap in the market, addressing both the technical aspects of diffusion, perfusion and spectroscopy and their clinical applications … This detailed text offers chapters from a wide range of eminent authors from both sides of the Atlantic … I can highly recommend this book … Without doubt this book should be in the library of neuroimaging centres.

COMING SOONIntroduction to the Science of Medical Imaging R. Nick Bryan, University of Pennsylvania This innovative books presents scientific imaging principles, introduces the major biomedical imaging modalities, reviews the basics of human and computer image analysis and provides examples of major clinical and research applications. This is a landmark text on image acquisition and interpretation.

Revolutionary advances in imaging technology that provide high resolution, 3-D, non-invasive imaging of biological subjects have made biomedical imaging an essential tool in clinical medicine and biomedical research. Key technological advances include MRI, positron emission tomography (PET) and multidetector X-ray CT scanners. Common to all contemporary imaging modalities is the creation of digital data and pictures. The evolution from analog to digital image data is driving the rapidly expanding field of digital image analysis.

An excellent teaching tool, using clinical and 9research images

Presents verbal, pictorial and quantitative formats 9enabling readers to understand the increasingly critical link between images and
