The most accessible book on imaging on the market. Written in a clear and direct style, with lots of figures and example questions. Comes with exercises that you can use with ImageJ. It doesn't overwhelm you with math, but uses it sparingly and always explains the background. This is a great book either for self-study or as a classroom textbook. It should also be of interest to those already working in medical imaging. Just the clearest, most user-friendly imaging book out there ...

This book offers a very clear and intuitive approach to the essentials of image processing and its applications to medical imaging. It's superbly written and beautifully illustrated, and includes a greatly detailed selection of color plates. It's a very practical book that guides you to a sophisticated understanding of problems and solutions, without getting too overwhelmed by the math.
Each chapter begins with a clear overview and a list of learning objectives so that you know exactly what's covered. Also included are computer-based activities (that use ImageJ) and exercises. The website contains downloads of ImageJ plugins to support each chapter.
Overall, Digital Image Processing for Medical Applications, is a thoroughly accessible and highly informative title that may quite possibly be the best of its kind and a must-read for anyone with even the slightest curiosity in medical imaging. Highly recommended!

I was lucky enought to recieve a first draft of this book for my class with Dr. Dougherty. He is an amazing individual & a captivating professor. At the tiem I didn't appreciate this book as much as one should, however since I have just completed Ultrasound School at Loma Linda University, It has been a wonderful reference material when it comes to the "physics" of ultrasound. It was truly something to be taught the book from the author, and to now see he has written a new one, is fantastic, I cannot wait to add it to my collection. This is a must buy for anyone wantint to know the "how" or "why" medical imaging works!
