Trade Review"This is an excellently prepared textbook for a senior/first year graduate level course. It explains physical concepts in an easily understandable manner. In addition, a problem set is included after each chapter. Very few books on the market today have this choice. I would definitely use it for teaching a medical imaging class at USC." - K. Kirk Shung, University of Southern California
"I have anxiously anticipated the release of this book and will use it with both students and trainees." - Michael B. Smith, Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research
"An excellent and approachable text for both undergraduate and graduate students." - Richard Magin, University of Illinois at Chicago
