This prominent work is stemmed from the authors’ well-known nationwide review course (” Physics of Medical Imaging”) at the University of California-Davis for radiology residents. The text is a guide to the basic concepts of medical imaging physics, radiation protection and radiation biology, with complicated topics provided in the clear and concise manner and design for which these authors are known. Protection includes the production, attributes and interactions of ionizing radiation utilized in medical imaging and the imaging methods in which they are used, including radiography, mammography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography and nuclear medication. Special attention is paid to enhancing patient dose in each of these techniques. Areas of the book address subjects typical to all kinds of diagnostic imaging, consisting of image quality and medical informatics as well as the non-ionizing medical imaging methods of MRI and ultrasound. The standard science important to nuclear imaging, including the nature and production of radioactivity, internal dosimetry and radiation detection and measurement, are presented clearly and concisely. Existing concepts in the fields of radiation biology and radiation defense appropriate to medical imaging, and a variety of valuable appendices complete this thorough textbook. The text is improved by numerous complete color charts, tables, images and exceptional illustrations that reinforce central ideas. The book is ideal for medical imaging professionals, and teachers and trainees in medical physics and biomedical engineering. Radiology residents will find this text particularly helpful in bolstering their understanding of imaging physics and associated subjects prior to board examinations.
