Dieser Band widmet sich vier wichtigen bildgebenden Verfahren in der Medizin: MRI (kernmagnetische Resonanz), Ultraschall, Nuklearmedizin und Röntgen-Computertomographie. - ausführlich dargestellt sind die physikalischen und technischen Grundlagen sowie klinische Anwendungen - Autor verzichtet weitgehend auf mathematische Details, deshalb ist das Werk auch für Nicht-Fachleute sehr gut verständlichAbout the Author: ANDREW WEBB, PhD, is a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Webb has contributed to many areas of magnetic resonance imaging including developments in radiofrequency coil design, feedback control of thermal processes, techniques for localized spectroscopy, and functional brain mapping. He was awarded a Whitaker Foundation Research Award and a National Science Foundation Career Award in 1997, a Wolfgang-Paul Prize from the Alexander von Humbolt Foundation in 2001, and Xerox and Willett awards for young faculty in 2002. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
