Medical Imaging: Principles, Detectors, and Electronics

Addressing state-of-the-art integrated circuit design in the context of medical imaging of the human body, Electronics for Medical Imaging reviews a wide variety of new opportunities in ultra-sound, computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine (PET, SPECT), emerging detector technologies, circuit design techniques, new materials, and innovative system approaches. This book not only discusses the technologies themselves, but also provides electronics engineers, biomedical engineers, researchers in medical research, medical physicists, and professional engineers with information on how to design electronics for each technology.
