Informationen zum Autor ANDREW WEBB, PHD, is a full Professor and Director of the C.J. Gorter Centre for High Field Imaging in the Department of Radiology at Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands. He is also a faculty member in Electrical Engineering at TU Delft and holds an adjunct position at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois. He published the first edition of this title with Wiley in 2003. Klappentext A state-of-the-art exploration of the foundations and latest developments in biomedical imaging technologyIn the newly revised second edition of Introduction to Biomedical Imaging, distinguished researcher Dr. Andrew Webb delivers a comprehensive description of the fundamentals and applications of the most important current medical imaging techniques: X-ray and computed tomography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and various optical-based methods. Each chapter explains the physical principles, instrument design, data acquisition, image reconstruction, and clinical applications of its respective modality.This latest edition incorporates descriptions of recent developments in photon counting CT, total body PET, superresolution-based ultrasound, phased-array MRI technology, optical coherence tomography, and iterative and model-based image reconstruction techniques. The final chapter discusses the increasing role of artificial intelligence/deep learning in biomedical imaging. The text also includes a thorough introduction to general image characteristics, including discussions of signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise.Perfect for graduate and senior undergraduate students of biomedical engineering, Introduction to Biomedical Imaging, 2nd Edition will also earn a place in the libraries of medical imaging professionals with an interest in medical imaging techniques.
