Handbook of Medical Imaging, Volume 1. Physics and Psychophysics

A comprehensive technical overview of the physics and mechanics governing medical imaging, with a primary focus on x-ray technology and its clinical applications. The text details the atomic processes of x-ray production, such as bremsstrahlung and characteristic radiation, while explaining how high-voltage generators and vacuum tubes facilitate these reactions. It further explores how radiation interacts with matter through the photoelectric effect, Rayleigh scattering, and Compton scattering to produce diagnostic images. Beyond hardware, the source examines image quality metrics, the development of digital detectors, and the mathematical models used to assess visual perception and observer performance. Finally, the collection addresses the evolving landscape of modern modalities, including MRI, ultrasound, and computed tomography, within the digital medical environment.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/0819477729?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=d1977ceb50de4c8a26a430414078bbd9&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/medicine_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
