3.0 out of 5 stars
Adequate but outdated review of medical imagining,
By James (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Physics of Medical Imaging (Medical Science Ser) (Paperback)
The second page of my copy of this book states:
Reprinted 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003 This is pretty much the same text published in 1988 (after corrections) So: Fuzzy 80's CT scan illustrations Nothing on fat suppression, or more modern image acquisition sequences in the "Nuclear Magnetic Imaging" chapter Definitely no mention of harmonic ultrasound Many anachronistic references to 'future technological improvements' I am not sure whether the publisher's reluctance to update this book represents apathy or avarice, but the failure to more frequently revise a textbook in such a rapidly changing area relegates this book from serious consideration as a primary textbook. Some chapters are quite clear and complete (for example X-ray) but overall the writng style is a little obtuse. In summary- some good chapters but outdated, stylistically hum-drum and superceded by the numerous other texts in this area. |
