Wiley-Blackwell Three–Dimensional Biomedical Imaging: Principles and Practice

Product Description "...an instant classic." Clinical Oncology Three–Dimensional Biomedical Imaging provides an overview of biomedical imaging science, technology, and practice. This book succinctly presents the essential information required by basic scientists and medical practitioners in multidisciplinary fields to understand 3–D imaging and its effective uses in biology and medicine. Beginning with basic principles, the author systematically covers simple–to–sophisticated methodologies, and concludes with examples of current applications and implications for future advances. Every now and again a book arrives on one′s desk for review that is hard to put down, and which is clearly going to be an instant classic. Reviewers are sometimes able to write, "This is the book I would like to have written." If I were Richard Robb, I would be very proud of this work. It captured my attention and I read it almost from cover to cover with great interest. Clinical Oncology This rather spectacular branch of technology includes new imaging acquisition methods and advanced topics from computer science. Interest in this field can take many forms; some will want to know how to use 3–D imaging in particular applications, some have interest in visualization techniques, and some want a more mathematical approach. Readers of every kind will find material in the book to interest them. Acta Neurochirurgica Review "This paperback book provides an overview of 3–D imaging from science to practice." –– NEURORADIOLOGY, Vol. 41, No. 6, 1998 "Well–written and very readable, even by those with little knowledge of imaging principles...an excellent introduction to medical image processing for the novice researcher...an invaluable resource for the serious imaging scientist." ––Physics in Medicine and Biology, January 1999 "This paperback book provides an overview of 3–D imaging from science to practice." –– NEURORADIOLOGY, Vol. 41, No. 6, 1998 Synopsis Imaging science embodies the study of images and the imaging process. The primary goal of imaging science is to develop advanced capabilities for the acquisition, processing, visualization, and quantitative analysis of images in order to collect the scientific, educational and clinical information that they contain This book provides an overview of biomedical 3-D imaging science, technology, and practice.
