4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview of imaging techniques, January 13, 2006

This book gives a clear, usable overview of many imaging techniques currently in use for medical imaging. It is not for laymen, as it delves into the mathematical basis for the techniques. However, for an engineer there is a satisying amount of detail with a concise overview.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Computed Tomography, March 8, 2006

This review is from: Medical Imaging Systems (Paperback)

Well, I'm using this book as a reference text for the graduate medical imaging systems course. It's relatively an out of date book, but it covers the most important aspects of Computed Tomography. If you're used to "easy to read" books which are published a lot these days, you'll find the language of this book a little complicated with relatively strange notations. But once you get used to it, you'll definitly enjoy your reading.
At any rate, if you're ready for some math and advanced calculus and you want to learn about the basics of CT, it worths trying.
