The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging (2nd Edition) Review

This text book is the most up to date and comprehensive text book available for radiology residents preparing for the ABR exam as of this date 3/12/2002. I have recommended this text for my most serious students and they have done quite well on the ABR exam. ( Most have scored in the > 90th percentile in the U.S.) For residents who want to just pass the exam, I recommend Sprawls text.

Essential Physics of Medical Imaging Review

A good book for teaching residents from. Covers a pretty wide range of topics. The level of detail covered is probably just enough for a radiology residents course, but medical physics students and grad students will probably find it a bit lacking. However, still an essential part of any medical physicist's library.

Medical Imaging Signals and Systems Review

Medical Imaging Signals and Systems
Average Reviews:

A very pedagogic book that covers the principles of medical imaging from a linear systems point of view. It is divided in 5 parts, being the first one devoted to the basics of imaging systems and the rest deal with modalities well established in the medical community. So only the chapters of the first part are essential to read before going to any other sections, which are mostly self-contained.
One section I would add to make it more complete would be some chapters on optical imaging, of which some techniques are finding a niche in clinical applications.
I found there is room for improvement in the book layout; the outer margins are simply too wide and some long equations go too close to the spine. The clarity of diagrams and photographs is good, but I would have appreciated some color inserts in a book of this price.

For courses in medical imaging systems. With signal processing as its foundation, this text covers the most important imaging modalities in radiology: projection radiography, x-ray computed tomography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging. Organized into parts to emphasize key overall conceptual divisions, Medical Imaging is most appropriate for engineering students who have taken the prerequisite signals and systems courses as well as elementary probability.
