Infos

Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles gives an introduction to the mathematical and physical concepts and principles that underlie modern radiological imaging techniques. It explains the basic phenomena and mathematical concepts that are central to the use of physical methods for image formation in biomedicine. By focusing on the physical and mathematical principles, it provides knowledge that will continue to hold true even as technological and other advances change the nature and detail of future medical imaging applications.Written as a pedagogic textbook explaining the principles rather than a technical manual describing imaging methods, Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles is very suitable as a foundational reference for senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers with a background in either biomedical engineering, engineering, applied physics, computer science, and mathematics. It will be a well-thumbed resource throughout a researcher’s career.

Autor

Adam W. Anderson, Ph.D. is Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology and Radiological Sciences at Vanderbilt University and a member of the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science. Dr. Anderson received his doctorate in Physics from Yale University in 1990 and has been engaged on research in MRI for the past 30 years. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering and the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. His current research focuses on improving methods of diffusion and high field MRI for characterizing brain structure and function. Charles Caskey, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences and Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University and director of the Laboratory of Acoustic Therapy and Imaging in the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science. Dr. Caskey received his doctoral degree for studies of the bioeffects of ultrasound during microbubble-enhanced drug delivery at the University of California at Davis. He has made many contributions to the fields of contrast-enhanced ultrasound, MR-guided focused ultrasound, and ultrasound neuromodulation. His current research focuses on developing new uses for ultrasound applications, such as neuromodulation, drug delivery, and functional imaging. John C. Gore, Ph.D., holds the Hertha Ramsey Cress Chair in Medicine and is a University Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at Vanderbilt University, where he also directs the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science. Dr. Gore obtained his B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Manchester in 1972, a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of London in 1976, and a BA degree in Law from Ealing College, London in 1982. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering, the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), the American Physical Society, the National Academy of Inventors, the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering, and the Institute of Physics (UK). He is also a Distinguished Investigator of the Academy of Radiology Research and Overseas Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine (UK). He is editor-in-chief of the journal Magnetic Resonance Imaging. and an Honorary Professor at Zhejiang University in China. His research is focused on the development and applications of biomedical imaging techniques, especially magnetic resonance imaging. Todd Peterson, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Radiology & Radiological Sciences at Vanderbilt University and Director of Nuclear Imaging and Radiochemistry in the Institute of Imaging Science, Vanderbilt University Medical Center. After completing his graduate training in experimental nuclear physics at Indiana University, he conducted his postdoctoral research in the University of Arizona's Center for Gamma-Ray Imaging. A primary research focus throughout his career has been the application of semiconductor detectors to high-resolution SPECT. His research also has spanned a wide range of applications of PET, SPECT, and CT imaging in both preclinical and clinical research. He is a Fellow of both the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
