Table of Contents:
- 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.
