Medical Imaging Physics"Medical Imaging Physics" erscheint jetzt in der 4. komplett aktualisierten Auflage. Der Band behandelt alle Aspekte bildgebender Verfahren in der modernen medizinischen Diagnostik - von der Radiographie, über die Fluorsokopie und Computertomographie bis hin zu Magnetresonanz und Ultraschall. Hier erfahren Sie alles über die physikalischen Grundlagen, Ausrüstung und Verfahren der Bilddiagnostik, einschließlich ihrer Möglichkeiten und Grenzen. Umfassend aktualisiert und verständlich dargestellt. Behandelt werden u.a. digitale Röntgenbilder, digitale Fluoroskopie, Doppler-Sonographie, funktionale MRI und Spiralscan. Mit Kapitelzusammenfassungen, einem Frage- und Antwortkatalog, Zusatzinformationen in seitlichen Textkästen zu historischen Aspekten sowie zu wichtigen Daten und Begriffen. Enthält über 200 neue Abbildungen. |

Page 8 - There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum mechanical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about Nature"'.
Page xvi - ... been adopted to allow the authors to include ideas and material to support the main text. These notes include references to standard mainstream texts and commentary on the applicability of solution methods, aimed particularly at covering points normally found difficult. Graded problems are provided at the end of each chapter, with answers at the end of the book.
