Produktbeschreibung

Medical imaging has been transformed over the past 30 years by the advent of computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and various advances in x-ray and ultrasonic techniques. An enabling force behind this progress has been the (so far) exponentially increasing power of computers, which has made it practical to explore fundamentally new approaches. In particular, "model-based" modalities-which produce tissue property images from data using nonlinear, iterative numerical modeling techniques-have become increasingly feasible. Alternative Breast Imaging: Four Model-Based Approaches explores research on four such modalities, particularly with regard to imaging of the breast: MR elastography (MRE), electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), microwave imaging spectroscopy (MIS), near infrared spectroscopic imaging (NIS).

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This well-organized and constructed work explores ... . There are 11 chapters' beginning with an excellent overview of the four approaches ... . It is, by itself, a very nice review of the topic, and is useful as a guide ... . It is all the more useful because it compares ... in a meaningful context. ... the use of models and simulation, physical and mathematical throughout the work, is impressive ... . This text would be best used in graduate-level courses ... ." (A.G. Greenburg, Computing Reviews, February, 2005)
