Review quotes
Review quotes
"Using a concise and agile style, supported by explanatory images, [this] 256-page paperback [is] enriched with diagrams and figures.... The text is fundamentally designed for radiologic and nuclear medicine technologists, and for biomedical engineering students preparing for certification examinations.... [It] analyzes other important and/or innovative issues like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data and enterprise imaging. The text is enriched with an updated bibliography, managing to provide current information on a rapidly evolving field.... [It] aims to provide useful information for learning functions that imply managerial responsibilities, including medical image management and processing system (MIMPS), digital image processing, and health information systems.... [T]he book may also be of interest to professionals and residents in diagnostic imaging who want to quickly update themselves on the topic." Review by Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, June 2026
"...a foundational text for a rapidly evolving discipline that sits at the intersection of clinical imaging, IT infrastructure and data science.... The text succeeds in establishing a coherent baseline for readers entering the field, particularly radiographers, imaging [professionals] and early-career informatics practitioners. Its progression from fundamental IT concepts through to imaging-specific [applications reflects] a pedagogically sound approach.... The inclusion of enterprise imaging and professional organisations is especially relevant given the NHS's ongoing shift towards integrated care systems and vendor neutral archive strategies.... The discussion of image management systems (eg PACS versus MIMPS) is solid.... This is a well-constructed introductory text that fulfils its stated aim of providing 'a foundational understanding of essential technologies.' It is most valuable as an educational scaffold or onboarding resource." Review by Dewinder Bhachu, RAD Magazine, June 2026
