<p>This comprehensive publication covers all aspects of image formation in modern medical imaging modalities, from radiography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography, to magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound.  It addresses the techniques and instrumentation used in the rapidly changing field of medical imaging.  Now in its fourth edition, this text provides the reader with the tools necessary to be comfortable with the physical principles, equipment, and procedures used in diagnostic imaging, as well as appreciate the capabilities and limitations of the technologies.</p>

<p>The second in a biennial series intended to help practicing medical physicists, technically inclined physicians, and other interested professionals to stay current in medical radiation science and technology in particular, in subfields of medical physics other than their own. This volume covers 18 new and important topics in diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy, ranging from CT doses, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), and advances in quantitative MRI, to Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), recent changes in NRC regulations, and mathematical treatment planning optimization. A number of the chapters, largely because they are not specialist tracts, should be of general interest to a wide medical physics readership.</p>

The presentation of visual information is critical to almost every endeavor in modern technology, from space exploration and military surveillance to diagnostic and therapeutic medicine. The technology of presenting visual information has developed rapidly in recent years; images and data can now be presented in a wide variety of formats and processed to bring out any of an enormous variety of aspects. The challenge is to display the information in such a way that the human observer can use it best. To do so requires understanding how humans process and use information that reaches them through the eye. While the elementary processes are well known, the details are far from clear. This text, comprising a dizen contributions by well-known researchres in the field, examines first what is currently known or understood about human vision and the information processing that it involves; it then considers the implciations for image maniuplation and presentation, particularly for computer processing of data to be presented visually.
