Many new techniques are\nbeing developed or extended  which depend on digital methods.\nAlthough conventional x-radiographs still  comprise the bulk\nof the medical images acquired in a hospital,             digital\nmethods such as computerized tomography and magnetic\nresonance  imaging are now often claimed to have a more\nsignificant clinical           impact.\nThis book is concerned with three aspects of such                   digital\nimages: their formation, or how they can be acquired;               their\nhandling, or how they may be manipulated to increase                  their\nclinical value; and their evaluation, or how their impact\nand     value may be assessed.\nThe book is divided into three parts. Part 1         comprises a\nseries of reviews in the general subject area written           by\nauthorities in the field. Part 2 includes papers on\ntheoretical      aspects: 3D images, reconstruction, perception,\nand image processing. Part 3includes papers on applications\nin nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance, andradiology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642778902\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-77888-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 242cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 700\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398647771276,"sku":"9783642778902","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642778902.jpg?v=1755439835","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642778902","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
