Fundamental Mathematics and Physics of Medical Imaging

Fundamental Mathematics and Physics of Medical Imaging, 1st Edition, teaches foundational mathematics and physics concepts associated with medical imaging systems. Moving beyond descriptions of individual modalities, the textbook focuses on the underlying mechanisms of image formation and image quality.

The volume examines principles common to all imaging systems, addressing contrast mechanisms, noise, and spatial and temporal resolution. Coverage introduces digital imaging in diagnostic radiology alongside dynamic methods such as digital subtraction angiography.

Prepared as an extensively revised edition of Bruce Hasegawa's 1991 book The Physics of Medical X-Ray Imaging, the text serves as a reference for medical physicists and biomedical engineering students.
