Up To Date Information on All Applications.......2007-02-24
A book that covers all important aspects of this technology,from development to various biomedical applications.
The Complete OCT Text.......2007-02-17
This is an outstanding book to bring the reader up to speed in
virtually all topics related to OCT. Among the greatest strengths of
the book is that almost every chapter is written by one author, something
rare in this era. The chapter on clinical trails may be a
little difficult for those without previous experience in this area,
but both this and chapter 12 do an excellent job outlining how
hypothesis driven research is performed. Similarly, chapters 5-8 are
likely challenging for those without a significant background in
mathematics. However, it is likely that readers from a wide range of
backgrounds will benefit from this book due to its diversity and
detail. This is a great book for both those new to the field as well
as experienced researchers.
An excellent resource for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of OCT.......2006-12-07
OCT: Principles and Applications is a cohesive text written by an investigator who understands the field from Maxwell's equations to clinical practice. Readers with a solid electromagnetics background will appreciate the detailed derivations and thorough coverage of OCT theory in Section II, including speckle, noise, common and uncommon variants of OCT, and practical instrument considerations. A comprehensive but brief introduction to basic mathematics and electromagnetics is given in Section I, which serves as an good review for those rusty on basic principles. Readers without a technical background may have difficulty with the equations in Section I and II, fortunately enough descriptive text is provided to enable anyone to follow the substance of derivations. Section III provides valuable information to engineers and physicians alike regarding the advantages and limitations of OCT for a variety of important applications. Typographical errors are a minor distraction. Overall this is an excellent first text for anyone wishing to delve beyond a superficial understanding of OCT, and a strong compliment to other available books on clinical applications and instrumentation developments in OCT.
Very Helpful.......2006-12-06
The book was very helpful. It covers information about OCT from both mathematical and physical aspects. The book starts out with a basic overview of the science of light and progresses into the more specific working of OCT technology. Almost every potential field where OCT would be used is covered. Section one is particularly good for physicians or anyone with only a biomedical background. I strongly recommend that engineers and physical scientists go through chapters 14 through 18, especially if they want to explore opportunities in an interdisciplinary field such as OCT.
OCT Book Review.......2006-12-05
The author has made outstanding contributions to the field of OCT through his conference presentations and journal publications and this book is another such contribution. This is the first book on OCT available written in a classical text book format covering a wide range of topics from the most basic engineering background material to advanced clinical topics. The book is written in a format that is suitable for someone new to the field, useful to those experienced in the field, and suitable as an adjunct for a university course. I highly recommend the book
Book Description
Cardiac diseases, and in particular coronary artery disease, are the leading cause of death and morbidity in industrialized countries. The development of non-invasive imaging techniques for the heart and the coronary arteries has been considered a key element in improving patient care. A breakthrough in cardiac imaging using CT occurred in 1998, with the introduction of multi-slice computed tomography (CT). Since then, amazing advances in performance have taken place with scanners that acquire up to 64 slices per rotation. This book discusses the state-of-the-art developments in multi-slice CT for cardiac imaging as well as those that can be anticipated in the future. It serves as a comprehensive work that covers all aspects of this technology, from the technical fundamentals and image evaluation all the way to clinical indications and protocol recommendations. This fully reworked second edition draws on the most recent clinical experience obtained with 16- and 64-slice CT scanners by world-leading experts from Europe and the United States. It also includes "hands-on" experience in the form of 10 representative clinical case studies, which are included on the accompanying CD. As a further highlight, the latest results of the very recently introduced dual-source CT, which may soon represent the CT technology of choice for cardiac applications, are presented. This book will not only convince the reader that multi-slice cardiac CT has arrived in clinical practice, it will also make a significant contribution to the education of radiologists, cardiologists, technologists, and physicists—whether newcomers, experienced users, or researchers.

Customer Reviews:
the most complete book so far.......2004-12-09
This is probably the most complete textbook on MRI so far, covering many of the recent topics. The prerequisite is an undergraduate engineering or physics degree, but nothing fancy, the math is completely trivial, and all of the necessary background is included in the book. So it's quite comprehensive in that regard, you won't need to use other books, it's all in there. And if it's not in there, I find the list of references at the end of sections to be excellent. They really refer you to the relevant literature so you don't have to worry about missing important details. I don't give 5 stars for books like this, because I just see it as a decent book. It is not "extraordinary" (5 stars), it is just the best book on MRI out there, but essentially because there are no decent alternative out there that cover such a broad range of topics. I suspect there will be subsequent editions of this book to cover newer topics, but the bulk of the book will remain the same, since it covers mostly very basic topics (a good choice of topics too).
An excellent intro for readers with some math background.......2000-03-01
This book is a welcome introduction for readers who are comfortable with basic differential equations and vector calculus. As an applied mathematician interested in learning the fundamentals of MRI, I had grown quite frustrated with the simplified literature on one hand ("MRI for technologists", "MRI for medical people", "MRI for dummies"...) and the professional literature on the other, which is directed at people already immersed in the study of MR technology. In contrast, this book is an excellent introduction to the subject for applied mathematicians (though this may not have been the intended audience), as it makes no assumptions regarding reader's science background and thus explains thoroughly all relevant E+M, physics and signal processing. But most importantly, it does so without cutting mathematical corners. This results in a far more lucid and logical exposition than books which try to protect the reader for his/her own good.

Quality Issue ?.......2007-05-15
The context of the book definately meets my expectations.The book provides a complete overview of PACs I am a bit concerned as to to quality of the book. The binding has already started to become loose in one section. the book has not been abused in any way. Carried in a briefcase and read at home. May be just this copy.

Book Description
Neuroimaging: Clinical and Physical Principles is destined to be the new benchmark among text/reference books for neuroradiology. Unique among all similar titles is this book's complete coverage of ALL imaging modalities and techniques used in modern neuroimaging, from MR (including up-to-the minute developments in fast MR, MRA, and FLAIR), to CT, ultrasonography, angiography, plain film, and myelography. Many topics that are covered little if at all in standard neuroimaging texts are given complete, state-of-the-art descriptions in this book, including: imaging of the head, neck, temporal bone, orbit, and sinuses; normal variants; imaging of pediatric neurologic diseases and developmental anomalies; imaging of trauma to the head, brain, and spine; interventional techniques, both intracranial and spinal; and sedation of both adult and pediatric patients. The book is rounded out with complete coverage of the Physical Principles that underlie modern Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The ten chapters in this section provide everything the radiologist must know such as; the physical basics of MR and CT; MR and CT contrast agents and their applications; hardware and safety issues; image acquisition and artifacts; and more! Each chapter is organized to provide fast answers to everyday clinical problems. Numerous tables and lists summarize imaging protocols and differential diagnoses for rapid reference, while the text of each chapter provides a thorough review of the state of the art neuroimaging procedures. Chapters reveal potential imaging findings for numerous conditions and direct the reader towards the imaging technique that will reveal the most informative results under each circumstance.

Encyclopedic reference.......2002-01-31
This book certainly looks impressive on your shelf, and it's a fairly thorough reference book. However, I have found it difficult to read (dry, boring) when I am not motivated by some particular thing that I am looking up. In fact, I have never made it through a single chapter from start to finish. This is probably a great book for epilepsy fellows. On the other hand, as a neurology resident who plans to stay a generalist, I found it to be overkill.
Book Description
The first edition of this book was written by single author. The second edition(1996) was written by two authors. The third edition is written by several authors. The third edition is designed to be the reference textbook in the field. It incorporates all relevant technical and clinical data. Each chapter is written by a leading authority in that particular subject. The chapters were carefully reviewed and edited for consistency and accuracy. There is major emphasis on incorporating tables and figures to allow using the book as a teaching resource. It is written with not only the specialist in mind but also the general reader as each chapter stands on its own. To our knowledge, there is no other textbook in the field that comes close to this one in terms of content, scholarship and style.
Book Description
Strength of the book is the writing style, with an approach that builds from the simple to the complex. Principles of Radiographic Imaging presents clear and concise information on radiographic contrast, density, detail and distortion, and ties those concepts together to present an overall picture of radiographic exposure. Radiographic Imaging is a required part of the Radiologic Technology curriculum, so any student who is studying to be a Radiologic Technologist, will need a book such as this to complete the curriculum.

Now Lauterbur, "father of the MRI", and Dr. Zhi-Pei Liang have co-authored the first engineering textbook on magnetic resonance imaging. This long-awaited, definitive text will help undergraduate and graduate students of biomedical engineering, biomedical imaging scientists, radiologists, and electrical engineers gain an in-depth understanding of MRI principles.
The authors use a signal processing approach to describe the fundamentals of magnetic resonance imaging. You will find a clear and rigorous discussion of these carefully selected essential topics:
- Mathematical fundamentals
- Signal generation and detection principles
- Signal characteristics
- Signal localization principles
- Image reconstruction techniques
- Image contrast mechanisms
- Image resolution, noise, and artifacts
- Fast-scan imaging
- Constrained reconstruction
Complete with a comprehensive set of examples and homework problems, Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the must-read book to improve your knowledge of this revolutionary technique.
Customer Reviews:
Great Textbook.......2004-04-02
This is an excellent textbook. Easy to follow if you are comfortable with Electromagnetics already. Lot's of math and examples inside. Make sure u get this book first, if you study MRI.
A definitive text for the signal processing of MRI.......2000-12-09
Magnetic resonance has recently recieved many riches in the form of excellent, definitive texts that have bundled together the advances of the last 20 or so years. Drs. Liang and Lauterbur have added to this trove by writing a text that goes beyond the standard descriptions of magnetic resonance image formation and including many advanced techniques available today, some of which they originated. The ideal audience for this text includes scientists, engineers, and physicians actively developing MRI applications from the physics on up. Though containing many recent developments it contains a core of medical imaging information that will not be outdated. The mathematical depth is sufficient to serve as a reference of basic and sophisticated methods but with enough pedagogical information to tutor the interested student. Liang and Lauterbur should be on the shelf of any serious professional or insightful student.
Excellent coverage of MR physics, however complicated maths........2000-05-21
The selection of the chapters and the overall coverage of this book are excellent. It provides an outstanding and detailed description of MR physics and of how MR signals are generated and processed. However, not being an engineer or a physicist but a MD interested in MRI, I had some problems with the mathematical background required to understand the formulas used in this book. I feel that the book would be greatly improved if a more detailed explanation to the mathematics were given. At this point, I would recommend this book to graduate students or Ph.D.'s in physics, in biomedical or in electrical engineering, who want to understand in detail the principles of MR signal generation and processing. Because of the somewhat complicated mathematics, the book might be somewhat less destined, but still of interest, to radiologists and MRI physicians who, like me, want to enhance their understanding of MR physics and signal processing.
