Handbook of Medical Imaging (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781632418135)

Medical imaging is the technique that allows the creation of visual representations of the interior of the body for the visualization of the function of the tissues and organs. This is vital for the purpose of clinical analysis and development of medical intervention. Its purpose is to assess the condition of the internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, and to diagnose and treat diseases. Some of the common imaging techniques include X-ray radiography, medical ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computed tomography, endoscopy and positron emission tomography. The advancements in volume rendering techniques have resulted in the production of 3D images. This book outlines the processes and applications of medical imaging in detail. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to medical imaging. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for doctors, pathologists, researchers and experts.
