Webb's Physics of Medical Imaging

Webb's Physics of Medical Imaging, 2nd Edition, edited by Maggie Flower, reviews the fundamental physical principles that underpin diagnostic medicine. Published by CRC Press, this textbook is formulated to keep complex physical concepts accessible to graduate students.

The text covers major clinical modalities, including x-radiology, computed tomography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. It also surveys additional techniques such as infrared, electrical impedance, and optical imaging, alongside foundational mathematics and perceptual interpretation.

In addition to modality overviews, the work explains the physical causes of imaging artifacts to help practitioners avoid them during daily clinical practice. Chapter-opening contents lists provide structured entry points into each topic.
