| Summary: | "This book offers a comprehensive survey of emerging medical imaging technologies that show great promise for routine clinical use. Each chapter provides a detailed discussion of the physics/technology and addresses improvements in terms of dose, sensitivity, and/or specificity, which are limitations of current imaging approaches. The book reflects the major advances in computer hardware, nanofabrication, and laser technology that have led to developments in phase-contrast imaging, photoacoustic imaging, and optical imaging. It covers multimodality imaging, including PET/MRI, as well as three-dimensional microscopy" -- Provided by publisher |
