Teach with a dynamic art program

Completely rewritten overview sections including many new images to better motivate and explain the core modalities that use x-rays, radioactivity, ultrasound, and nuclear magnetic resonance.
Numerous images and diagrams allow students to visualise complex information.
Signals and systems tend to be very mathematical in nature; however, students can take advantage of the rich art program offered in the text.

Capture students’ attention

Motivational example problems reveal a multitude of interesting features that keep students engaged with the material.
NEW! Many new problems, added primarily to the chapters having relatively fewer problems in the first edition. There are a total of 261 problems in this second edition.
NEW! Reorganisation of the chapters on signals and systems and image quality to encourage a better pedagogical flow.
Discussion or study topics are easy to find with the text’s engrossing example problems.

Use relevant material

Biologically relevant examples illustrate the great care that both authors took while creating the text.
Relevant material features the important context of medical imaging.
NEW! New sections on digital radiography systems and mammography in projection radiography.
NEW! A new section on multi-row detectors in computed tomography.
NEW! A new section on iterative reconstruction in emission tomography in nuclear medicine.
NEW! New sections on nonlinear wave propagation and nonlinear imaging in ultrasound imaging.
NEW! New development and presentation of imaging equations in planar scintigraphy, single photon emission computed tomography, and positron emission tomography.
NEW! New sections on three-dimensional imaging, noise, and speckle in ultrasound imaging.
NEW! New sections on susceptibility weighted imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging in magnetic resonance imaging.
