Description

Book Synopsis

Clinical Medical Imaging Physics: Current and Emerging Practice is the first text of its kind--a comprehensive reference work covering all imaging modalities in use in clinical medicine today. Destined to become a classic in the field, this book provides state-of-practice descriptions for each imaging modality, followed by special sections on new and emerging applications, technologies, and practices.

Authored by luminaries in the field of medical physics, this resource is a sophisticated, one-volume handbook to a fast-advancing field that is becoming ever more central to contemporary clinical medicine.

  • Summarizes the current state of clinical medical imaging physics in one volume, with a focus on emerging technologies and applications
  • Provides comprehensive coverage of all key clinical imaging modalities, taking into account the new realities in healthcare practice
  • Features a strong focus on clinical application of principles and technol
