Medical Imaging

  • 1st Edition
  • September 1, 2099
  • Adam W. Anderson + 3 more
  • English
Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles gives an introduction to the mathematical and physical concepts and principles that underlie modern radiological imaging techniques. It explains the basic phenomena and mathematical concepts that are central to the use of physical methods for image formation in biomedicine. By focusing on the physical and mathematical principles, it provides knowledge that will continue to hold true even as technological and other advances change the nature and detail of future medical imaging applications.Written as a pedagogic textbook explaining the principles rather than a technical manual describing imaging methods, Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles is very suitable as a foundational reference for senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers with a background in either biomedical engineering, engineering, applied physics, computer science, and mathematics. It will be a well-thumbed resource throughout a researcher’s career.

Methods in Molecular Modelling: Methods, Algorithms and Implementation

  • 1st Edition
  • May 1, 2099
  • David O. Scanlon
  • English
Methods in Molecular Modelling: Methods, Algorithms and Implementation offers a brief and concise overview of methods available for materials modeling, enabling readers to identify the right level of theory for their calculations. The book explains each method, providing an understanding on which method and level of theory to apply to get trusted results for minimum computational costs. It serves as the foundational volume for a series that explores different application areas in detail. The theoretical foundations of methods for modeling molecules and materials are complex, and in addition to physics and chemistry, require a solid understanding of mathematics and programming. Beginners in this area will appreciate helpful case studies and examples of applications in this book rather than the derivation of complicated equations. Through a balanced ratio of theoretical background of methods and practical application of these methods to representative problems from physics, chemistry, and materials science, this book teaches how to perform calculations that enable them to design new materials. More experienced researchers will also appreciate the practical applications described that can be used to prepare lectures.
