COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY: PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY
In the newly updated second edition of Computed Tomography: Physics and
Technology A Self Assessment Guide, distinguished computed tomography
(CT) educator Euclid Seeram delivers a completely revised and expanded
collection of multiple-choice questions covering all relevant
technological advances, including the use of artificial intelligence, in
the field of CT. In the book, readers will find a focused emphasis on
physics and technology -- an area where students of this discipline have
traditionally struggled.
The questions are presented in a format similar to those found on the
certification examinations of the American Registry of Radiologic
Technologists (ARRT), the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation
Technologists (CAMRT), and other professional medical imaging
organizations around the world. The author has also included true-false
questions, short answer questions, and relevant learning outcomes to aid
students in their study of the subject.
Readers will also find brief notes on:
- An introduction to computed tomography, including an overview of the
field and a historical perspective
- Digital image processing and the physics of computed tomography
- Data acquisition principles and technology and image reconstruction
fundamentals
- Deep learning image reconstruction, the major equipment components of
a computed tomography scanner, and image post-processing and
visualization
- Multislice CT: Principles and Technology
- Image quality considerations
- CT Dosimetry and dose optimization strategies
- Quality control
Perfect for radiological technology and diagnostic radiography students
and practitioners, Computed Tomography: Physics and Technology A Self
Assessment Guide, will also earn a place in the libraries of biomedical
engineering students and radiology residents in training.
