DESCRIPTION:
In this book Alex Mamourian uses early CT technology to explain the fundamentals of CT imaging and then builds on that base to explain how innovations such as slip-ring and multidetector arrays allow for rapid, high resolution imaging. CT imaging has become a mainstay of medical imaging. After 30 years this is a mature technology but the accumulation of innovations over the past decades have given it extraordinary capabilities and new applications continue to emerge. This book covers complex applications such as CT cardiac imaging and dual-source dual-energy CT scanning as well as the pitfalls and artifacts that will be encountered in clinical practice. The book also includes chapters on the language of radiation dose and strategies for dose reduction that are essential for optimal CT imaging and patient safety.
He is currently on faculty at the University of Pennsylvania in the department of Radiology. His radiology training included a fellowship in MR imaging at the University of Pennsylvania and another in neuroradiology at the Barrow Neurologic Institute. The author, Alex Mamourian MD, began his radiology training over thirty years ago and just when CT was
"This easy-to-read book is recommended either as a personal copy or, certainly, for any departmental or sectional library." -- American Journal of Neuroradiology
pejman j maralani said Must read!. I read this book as a radiology fellow and I wished this had existed during my residency years. Textbooks in imaging physics are usually too easy for radiologists or literally incomprehensible for people who don't have extensive high-level math and physics background (like me). This book is for radiologists/ radiology trainees and deals with everyday physics that we may not even be aware of. The level of physics is tailored for this audience. It addresses several technical issues and CT artif. Perfect for Boards Review I'm currently studying for the ABR's Core Exam, and this book is the perfect review for CT Physics. It is highly applicable to clinical radiology, unlike many of the other RSNA et. al physics sources that are out there. The presentation style, using cases and multiple choice questions, to outline key concepts in practical CT imaging, is spot on with how the ABR is beginning to test residents in physics. Additionally, the case explanations are easy to understand no matter your understanding of. 98765Excellent book -- highly recommended. 987654321 This is an excellent book -- very clinically relevant and easy to read. I recommend that first-year residents read this book prior to taking solo call. I found it amazing how many of the cases I actually encountered overnight. I certainly would not have struggled with some of the cases if I read this book prior to taking call myself.. Excellent book -- highly recommended.
