Medical Imaging

Beschreibung

"An excellent primer on medical imaging for all members ofthe medical profession . . . including non-radiologicalspecialists. It is technically solid and filled with diagrams andclinical images illustrating important points, but it is alsoeasily readable . . . So many outstanding chapters . . . The bookuses little mathematics beyond simple algebra [and] presentscomplex ideas in very understandable terms." --Melvin E. Clouse, MD, Vice Chairman Emeritus, Department ofRadiology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and DeaconessProfessor of Radiology, Harvard Medical School A well-known medical physicist and author, an interventionalradiologist, and an emergency room physician with no specialtraining in radiology have collaborated to write, in the languagefamiliar to physicians, an introduction to the technology andclinical applications of medical imaging. It is intentionally briefand not overly detailed, intended to help clinicians with verylittle free time rapidly gain enough command of the criticallyimportant imaging tools of their trade to be able to discuss themconfidently with medical and technical colleagues; to explain thegeneral ideas accurately to students, nurses, and technologists;and to describe them effectively to concerned patients and lovedones. Chapter coverage includes: * Introduction: Dr. Doe's Headaches * Sketches of the Standard Imaging Modalities * Image Quality and Dose * Creating Subject Contrast in the Primary X-Ray Image * Twentieth-Century (Analog) Radiography and Fluoroscopy * Radiation Dose and Radiogenic Cancer Risk * Twenty-First-Century (Digital) Imaging * Digital Planar Imaging * Computed Tomography * Nuclear Medicine (Including SPECT and PET) * Diagnostic Ultrasound (Including Doppler) * MRI in One Dimension and with No Relaxation * Mapping T1 and T2 Proton Spin Relaxation in 3D * Evolving and Experimental Modalities
