Biomedical Imaging

Containing chapters carefully selected from CRC's best-selling engineering handbooks, volumes in the Principles and Applications in Engineering series provide convenient, economical references sharply focused on particular engineering topics and subspecialties. Culled from the Biomedical Engineering Handbook, this text provides an overview of the main medical imaging devices and highlights some emerging systems. With applications ranging from imaging the whole body to replicating cellular components, the imaging modalities discussed include X-ray systems, computed tomographic systems, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, MR microscopy, virtual reality, and more.
