Πίνακας περιεχομένων:

• Sketches of the standard imaging modalities: different ways of creating visible contrast among tissues
• Image quality and dose: what constitutes a "good" medical image?
• Creating subject contrast in the primary X-ray image: projection maps of the body from differential attenuation of X-rays by tissues
• Twentieth-century (analog) radiography and fluoroscopy: capturing the X-ray shadow with a film cassette or an image intensifier tube plus electronic optical camera combination
• Radiation dose and radiogenic risk: ionization-induced damage to DNA can cause stochastic, deterministic, and teratogenic health effects--and how to protect against them
• Twenty-first century (digital) imaging: computer-based representation, acquisition, processing, storage, transmission, and analysis of images
• Digital planar imaging: replacing film and image intensifiers with solid state, electronic image receptors
• Computed tomography: superior sontrast in three-dimensional X-ray attenuation maps
• Nuclear medicine: contrast from differential uptake of a radiopharmaceutical by tissues
• Diagnostic ultrasound: contrast from differences in tissue elasticity or density across boundaries
• MRI in one dimension and with no relaxation: a gentle introduction to a challenging subject
• Mapping T1 and T2 relaxation in three dimensions
• Evolving and experimental modalities
• Suggested further reading
• Index.
