Book excerpt: This open access book gives a complete and comprehensive introduction to the fields of medical imaging systems, as designed for a broad range of applications. The authors of the book first explain the foundations of system theory and image processing, before highlighting several modalities in a dedicated chapter. The initial focus is on modalities that are closely related to traditional camera systems such as endoscopy and microscopy. This is followed by more complex image formation processes: magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray projection imaging, computed tomography, X-ray phase-contrast imaging, nuclear imaging, ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography.

Download or read book Digital Mammography written by Ulrich Bick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Radiography has been ? rmly established in diagnostic radiology during the last decade. Because of the special requirements of high contrast and spatial resolution needed for roentgen mammography, it took some more time to develop digital m- mography as a routine radiological tool. Recent technological progress in detector and screen design as well as increased ex- rience with computer applications for image processing have now enabled Digital Mammography to become a mature modality that opens new perspectives for the diag- sis of breast diseases. The editors of this timely new volume Prof. Dr. U. Bick and Dr. F. Diekmann, both well-known international leaders in breast imaging, have for many years been very active in the frontiers of theoretical and translational clinical research, needed to bring digital mammography ? nally into the sphere of daily clinical radiology. I am very much indebted to the editors as well as to the other internationally rec- nized experts in the ? eld for their outstanding state of the art contributions to this v- ume. It is indeed an excellent handbook that covers in depth all aspects of Digital Mammography and thus further enriches our book series Medical Radiology. The highly informative text as well as the numerous well-chosen superb illustrations will enable certi? ed radiologists as well as radiologists in training to deepen their knowledge in modern breast imaging.

Download or read book Digital Radiography written by J.G. Kereiakes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital radiography is a general term describing any projection radiological system in which the image exists in digital form at some stage between acquisition and viewing. In an earlier form, radiographic films were dig itized in an attempt to enhance and redisplay information of interest. The field has evolved to its current state, in which X-ray signals are detected electronically, converted to digital form, and processed prior to being recorded and displayed. A primary goal of digital radiography is the re moval of interfering effects from secondary structures in an image, so that clinically significant details can be displayed with enhanced visibility. The achievement of this goal involves many parameters, including con trast agents, subtraction techniques, processing techniques, filtering tech niques, system noise, and quantitative aspects. It is the purpose of this book to present material by noted individuals in the field covering several of the above topics.

Download or read book Radiation Source Use and Replacement written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-05-25 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States there are several thousand devices containing high-activity radiation sources licensed for use in areas ranging from medical uses such as cancer therapy to safety uses such as testing of structures and industrial equipment. Those radiation sources are licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and state agencies. Concerns have been raised about the safety and security of the radiation sources, particularly amid fears that they could be used to create dirty bombs, or radiological dispersal device (RDD). In response to a request from Congress, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission asked the National Research Council to conduct a study to review the uses of high-risk radiation sources and the feasibility of replacing them with lower risk alternatives. The study concludes that the U.S. government should consider factors such as potential economic consequences of misuse of the radiation sources into its assessments of risk. Although the committee found that replacements of most sources are possible, it is not economically feasible in some cases. The committee recommends that the U.S. government take steps to in the near term to replace radioactive cesium chloride radiation sources, a potential "dirty bomb" ingredient used in some medical and research equipment, with lower-risk alternatives. The committee further recommends that longer term efforts be undertaken to replace other sources. The book presents a number of options for making those replacements.

This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 2319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Textbook of Clinical Radiology is a fully integrated illustrated textbook of radiology to cater for residents and practising radiologists. It is a one-stop solution for all academic needs in radiology. It helps radiologists as a single reference book to gain complete knowledge instead of referring to multiple resources. More than 500 authors, recognized experts in their subspeciality, have contributed to this book. To meet the expectations of clinical radiologists, thorough clinical expertise and familiarity with all the imaging modalities appropriate to address their clinical questions are necessary, regardless of one's favoured subspeciality. To keep the content relevant to them, we have tried to stay upgraded to their level. This book comprises six volumes, which gives information on Radiological Anatomy, Embryology, Nomogram, Normal Variants, Physics, Imaging Techniques, and all the aspects of Diagnostic Radiology including Neuroradiology, Head and Neck, Chest and CVS, Abdomen, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Breast, Musculoskeletal and Multisystem Disorders & related Interventional techniques. It will serve as a primary reference for residents and subspeciality trainees and fellows to facilitate their learning in preparation for their examination, and also the consultant radiologists in their daily clinical practice.This volume is subdivided into three sections. Section 1 covers the principles of clinical radiology and deals with basic to advanced aspects of general radiology. The physics of each imaging modality is described in detail for radiology residents. Principles of pathology, genetics and statistics important for radiologists from research point of view are enumerated. Basic principles of medicine including management of contrast reactions, basic and advanced life support which are important for radiologists in day to day practice are dealt in dedicated chapter. Section 2 covers the multisystem disorders that affect multiple body systems either at the same time or over a period of time. Imaging plays a vital role in identifying the extent of systems involved and also in diagnosis by recognising the pattern of systems involved. The last part of the section deals with the general principles of oncoimaging dealing with multisystem involvement and facilitates easier understanding of this complex subject. The format is ideal for both in-depth knowledge and daily reference. Section 3 covers head and neck imaging, anatomy of neck, techniques of imaging and paediatric neck. In addition, all neck spaces and lymph nodes are discussed with anatomy and pathology with high-quality images and line diagrams. Orbits, temporal bone, sinuses and skull base are included with discussion on imaging anatomy, variants and pathologies. Cancer imaging, PETCT and post-operative imaging are fully discussed along with TNM imaging. Unique chapters on Sleep apnea, Emergency Radiology, Dental imaging, Superficial and trans-spatial lesions and Imaging of all cranial nerves are included.
