About this Item
As you can see from the photos, the blue covers are very clean and the gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. I can add that the corners and edges are in excellent shape as are the spine ends. The page edges are clean. The book is very solidly bound. The pages are nicely tight. So are the covers. The interior of the book is in very good shape. The pages of text are very clean. I'm not seeing any soiling as I scroll through them. I'm also not seeing any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. Nothing is ever perfect: there is one small spot on the front inside cover and the same small spot in the same place can be seen on the blank first front end paper. 'Charles Edgar Metz was recognized as a pioneer in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, as well as a leader in using mathematics to assess and improve the accuracy of diagnostic tests. He made extensive contributions to various medical imaging fields, including general radiography, nuclear medicine, and computer-aided diagnosis. Dr. Metz started his career in medical image-processing with the work on his Ph.D. dissertation, which was entitled "A mathematical investigation of radioisotope scan image processing". In this dissertation, he mathematically evaluated various stationary linear image-processing techniques with use of a single digital radionuclide image. He also proposed a new filtering technique for attempting to enhance image resolution and to remove distractions from digital images. However, because digital images had just started to be used in medical fields in the early 1970s, his novel idea of introducing an image-processing filter, called a "Metz Filter," became widely applied in nuclear medicine, but not until more than a decade later.'.
