Medical Imaging : Essentials for Physicians, Hardcover by Wolbarst, Anthony B., Capasso, Patrizio; Wyant, Andrew R., ., ISBN 0470505702, ISBN-13 9780470505700, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A primer, this book provides a basic grounding in medical imaging, and the answers to why one technology is used instead of another, while it spotlights the risks and benefits of each. In the interests of delivering a book which is clear and in the simplest language possible for a technical volume, a medical physicist prepared the first draft. It was then handed off to a practicing interventional radiologist. After that an ER physician vetted it for intelligibility for non-radiologists. The final review was by radiologists and medical physicists, as well as other radiological specialists. The math presented in th serves to clarify the material in a different language, but does not go beyond linear equations, sine waves, and exponentials. As a wonder of organization and a further aid to the reader, paragraphs containing the main text are in one font type and size, and paragraphs containing a more detailed explanation are in a smaller and different font, so the reader has the choice of either a quick review of the text or a longer, more in-depth version. Uniquely, each chapter is first presented in concise outline complete with page numbers. There are tables, figures, and boxes supporting the text. Suggested further reading is helpfully organized as well by subject: general imaging, radiology and fluoroscopy, computed tomography, nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and radiobiology. Th is targeted for attending physicians, medical students and residents, but also for other medical professionals and scientists. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
