Summary:"While covering both physical and mathematical foundations, this graduate textbook provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction into modern biomedical imaging techniques. These methods are not only based on new instrumentation for image capture, but equally on mathematical advances in the algorithms to extract relevant information from recorded data. As a first, this book provides a combined treatise of these underlying aspects"--

Description
Summary:

Covering both physical as well as mathematical and algorithmic foundations, this graduate textbook provides the reader with an introduction into modern biomedical imaging and image processing and reconstruction. These techniques are not only based on advanced instrumentation for image acquisition, but equally on new developments in image processing and reconstruction to extract relevant information from recorded data. To this end, the present book offers a quantitative treatise of radiography, computed tomography, and medical physics.
