Over 1,000 exquisite images thoroughly depict the magnetic resonance imaging of the extremities. Each MR image is accompanied by a full-color anatomical photograph and an orientation drawing-enabling readers to readily identify the anatomical structures being depicted and to see exactly what MR findings in that body area are supposed to look like. ...
An overview of the major topics in digital image processing, representation, processing techniques and communication, this work starts by presenting the mathematical tools required to handle image processing problems. It then discusses the major topics to enable the reader to learn the underlying techniques and concepts. The author covers aspects ...
Today the very idea of photographic veracity is being challenged by the emerging technology of digital image manipulation and synthesis: photographs can now be altered at will in ways that are virtually undetectable, and photorealistic synthesized images are increasingly difficult to distinguish from actual photographs. Continuing William Mitchell ...

Now in its updated Second Edition, this volume is an easy-to-read introduction to the physics behind MR imaging. The subject is presented in a clear, user-friendly, clinically relevant fashion, with large-size, legible equations, over 100 images of cases to illustrate the basic principles described in the text, and questions and answers that are ...
MRI from Picture to Proton presents the basics of MR practice and theory in a unique way: backwards! The subject is approached just as a new MR practitioner would encounter MRI: starting from the images, equipment and scanning protocols, rather than pages of physics theory. The reader is brought face-to-face with issues pertinent to practice ...
This book presents the underlying algorithms used in all the basic of the advanced image processing techniques. The use of these techniques used to be limited to signal processing engineers and scientists. The decreasing cost of computer power and increasing quality of computer graphics has allowed image processing techniques to be used in almost ...
This best-selling, original text focuses on image reconstruction, real-time texture mapping, separable algorithms, two-pass transforms, mesh warping, and special effects. The text, containing all original material, begins with the history of the field and continues with a review of common terminology, mathematical preliminaries, and digital image ...
This classic resource provides a clear, well-illustrated introduction to the essentials of optical design - from basic principles to cutting-edge design methods.
This is a practical guide to signal processing methodology. Just as a cardiologist can benefit from an oscilloscope-type display of the ECG without a deep understanding of electronics, an engineer can benefit from advanced signal processing tools without always understanding the details of the underlying mathematics. Through the use of extensive ...
This handy reference will give the practicing and training technologist a solid understanding of basic MRI principles on which further learning can be built. Beginning with a hardware overview and moving through tissue characteristics, image quality and flow imaging, "Rad Tech's Guide to MRI: Basic Physics, Instrumentation, and Quality Control" ...
"The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine" called the first edition "A book of rare quality, filled with a wealth of information". Completely revised to encompass advances in electronic and digital technology, this classic remains the definitive text on video and computer imaging of microscopic data, featuring 512 illustrations.
The rapid rate at which the field of digital picture processing has grown in the past five years had necessitated extensive revisions and the introduction of topics not found in the original edition.
