Medical Imaging Physics is based on acourse offered at the Radiological Society of North America meetingthat is as popular with radiologists as it is with medical imagingphysicists. It is the first resource of its kind to address theexpanding role of clinical medical physics in radiology and imagingcenters around the world. There are several successful texts thataddress the science and technology of medical imaging. Theseinclude Wiley's best-selling Hendee books, RadiationTherapy Physics and Medical Imaging Physics.
However, until now there have been no single-source references thatoffer both the clinical medical physicist and the radiologist aconcise, comprehensive resource that addresses the clinicalpractice and application of medical physics in imaging.
Clinical Medical Imaging Physics addresses thisglaring deficiency in the reference literature.
Clinical Medical Imaging Physics will surely berecognized as the classic reference for the application of medicalphysics in clinical medical imaging. The book not onlyprovides a single reference for the existing practice of medicalphysics, but also addresses the growing need to establish anupdated approach to clinical medical imaging physics in light ofnew realities in healthcare practice, such as the expanding role ofclinical medical physics and new non-classical challenges oftechnologies and operational issues in radiology practice.
The book is designed as a daily clinical and lab reference andcould easily be deployed as a textbook for graduate courses inmedical imaging physics. Both medical physicists and radiologyresidents will also find the book useful as a study review fortheir respective board exams.
