The Physics of Medical Imaging: Principles, Modalities and Applications

In an era where medical advancements constantly redefine the boundaries of patient care, the role of medical imaging stands paramount. From the earliest days of Roentgen's discovery of X-rays to today's sophisticated multi-modality platforms, the ability to peer non-invasively into the human body has revolutionized diagnosis, guided treatment, and profoundly shaped our understanding of disease. Yet, behind every illuminating image lies a bedrock of fundamental physics-principles that transform unseen forces into tangible insights.

This book, The Physics of Medical Imaging: Principles, Modalities, and Applications, expertly bridges the gap between the complex theoretical underpinnings of physics and their vital application in clinical medicine. It's a remarkable achievement that manages to be both rigorously scientific and eminently accessible, a balance that is often elusive in technical literature.
