Wiley Multi-modality Cardiac Imaging: Processing and Analysis

Imaging moving organs like the heart presents a unique set of challenges due to constant motion. This specialized book by Wiley-ISTE addresses these difficulties by presenting current and emerging methods for acquiring high-quality images. It covers the five main medical imaging modalities: conventional X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging, and ultrasound. By utilizing dynamic image sequences, this resource provides the tools needed for both qualitative and quantitative assessment of organ dynamics. Understanding these dynamics is essential, as they are often directly linked to various pathologies. This text serves as a comprehensive guide for professionals working in cardiovascular imaging, providing the technical foundation necessary to manage the complexities of cardiac motion through advanced processing and analysis techniques.
