A unique synthesis of scientific content and artistic
style, Biomedical Imaging, Visualization, and Analysis provides a
comprehensive overview of the advances spurring the evolution of
imaging science and practice.
The focus of Biomedical Imaging, Visualization, and Analysis is on
comprehensive explanation and ample illustration, rather than complex
physics or mathematics. A brief review of fundamental principles and
underlying theories precedes detailed discussions of innovative imaging
methods, novel visualization techniques, new processing algorithms,
image modeling, and biomedical applications useful in medical training.
The scope of the book embraces CT and MR elastography, parametric
displays, virtual reality, volumetric modeling algorithms, surgical and
radiation treatment planning, image-guided diagnosis and treatment,
virtual endoscopy, epilepsy imaging, and cardiac motion analysis.
Biomedical Imaging, Visualization, and Analysis is a work of extension
and integration:
"Such works are challenging, but when realized, they do not become
obsolete; rather, they form durable links in the chain that faithfully
connects the past to the present, and the present to the future. This
book attempts to meet that challenge and provide an enduring bridge in
the expanding field of biomedical imaging." (from the Preface)
By the same author:
THREE-DIMENSIONAL BIOMEDICAL IMAGING
Principles and Practice
Presents the essential information required by basic scientists and
medical practitioners in multidisciplinary fields to understand 3-D
imaging and its effective uses in biology and medicine.
"Every now and then a book arrives on one's desk for review that
is hard to put down, and which is clearly going to be an instant
classic. Reviewers are sometimes able to write, 'This is the book I
would have liked to have written.' If I were Richard Robb, I would be
very proud of this work. It captured my attention and I read it almost
from cover to cover."-Clinical Oncology
