| Summary: |
"X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been one of the most popular diagnostic imaging modalities for decades in the clinic for saving patients' life or improving their quality of life. This book is an introductory "one-stop shop" for technological and clinical topics in Computed Tomography (CT). Starting with its fundamentals in physics and mathematics, the book then explores the system architecture and imaging chain, signal detection mechanisms, scan modes and protocols, image reconstruction solutions, and emerging new technologies, such as spectral CT and phase contrast CT. In addition to an in-depth introduction on the major aspects of multi-detector row CT (MDCT) that is being extensively utilized in the clinic for diagnostic imaging, the introduction extends its coverage on cone bean CT (CBCT) dedicated for image-guided oncologic treatment planning, surgery, breast imaging, and cardiovascular/neurological intervention in clinical applications. This book will be an invaluable reference for researchers, engineers, radiological physicians and technologists, and graduate and senior undergraduate students"-- |
