Preface This book explains the applied mathematical and physical principles of medical imaging and image pro- cessing. It gives a complete survey, accompanied by more than 300 illustrations in color, of how medical images are obtained and how they can be used for diagnosis, therapy, and surgery. It has been written principally as a course text on medical imaging intended for graduate and final-year undergraduate students with a background in physics, mathematics, or engineering. However, I have made an effort to make the textbook readable for biomedical scientists and medical practitioners as well by delet- ing unnecessary mathematical details, without giving up the depth needed for physicists and engineers. Mathematical proofs are highlighted in separate para- graphs and can be skipped without hampering a fluent reading of the text. Although a large proportion of the book covers the physical principles of imaging modalities, the emphasis is always on how the image is computed. Equipment design, clinical considerations, and diag- nosis are treated in less detail. Premature techniques or topics under investigation have been omitted. Presently, books on medical imaging fall into two groups, neither of which is suitable for this read- ership. The first group is the larger and comprises books directed primarily at the less numerate pro- fessions such as physicians, surgeons, and radiologic technicians. These books cover the physics and mathe- matics of all the major medical imaging modalities, but mostly in a superficial way. They do not allow any real understanding of these imaging modalities. The sec- ond group comprises books suitable for professional medical physicists or researchers with expertise in the field. Although these books have a numerate approach, they tend to cover the topics too deeply for the beginner and to have a narrower scope than this book. The text reflects what I teach in class, but there is somewhat more material than I can cover in a module of 30 contact hours. This means that there is scope for the stronger student to read around the subject and also makes the book a useful purchase for those going on to do research. In Chapter 1, an introduction to digital image pro- cessing is given. It summarizes the jargon used by the digital image community, the components defin- ing image quality, and basic image operations used to process digital images. The theory of linear sys- tems, described in Chapter 2 of the first edition, has been moved to an appendix. It is too high-level for the medical reader and a significant part of the engi- neering readers of the previous edition considered it as redundant. However, many students in physics or engineering are not familiar with linear system theory and will welcome this appendix. Chapters 2–6 explain how medical images are obtained. The most important imaging modalities today are discussed: radiography, computed tomogra- phy, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine imaging, and ultrasonic imaging. Each chapter includes (1) a short history of the imaging modality, (2) the theory of the physics of the signal and its inter- action with tissue, (3) the image formation or recon- struction process, (4) a discussion of the image quality, (5) the different types of equipment in use today, (6) examples of the clinical use of the modality, (7) a brief description of the biologic effects and safety issues, and (8) some future expectations. The imaging modalities have made an impressive evolution in a short time with respect to quality, size and applicability. This part of the book provides up-to-date information about these systems. Chapters 7 and 8 deal with image analysis and visualization for diagnosis, therapy and surgery once images are available. Medical images can, for example, be analyzed to obtain quantitative data, or they can be displayed in three dimensions and actively used to guide a surgical intervention. Most courses sepa- rate the imaging theory from the postprocessing, but I strongly believe that they should be taken together
