Hendee's Physics of Medical Imaging

Hendee's Physics of Medical Imaging, 5th Edition, provides a comprehensive overview of the physical principles, technologies, and procedures governing medical imaging. The textbook examines the processes responsible for image formation across contemporary diagnostic systems.

Coverage addresses major medical imaging modalities, including radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, nuclear imaging, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. The text is structured to present foundational physics shared across modalities before addressing the specialized equipment and operational methods of each individual system.

To keep complex imaging physics approachable, concepts are presented in an accessible format with limited mathematical formulation. This structure assists medical physics students, imaging physicians, radiology residents, and candidates preparing for professional certification examinations.
