Tomography (Digital Signal and Image Processing Series)

Hardcover, xxx + 426 pages, NOT ex-library. Printed and bound in the UK (not an economy edition). Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Published without a dust jacket. -- The principle of tomography is to explore the structure and composition of objects non-destructively along spatial and temporal dimensions, using penetrating radiation, such as X- and gamma-rays, or waves, such as electromagnetic and acoustic waves. Based on computer-assisted image reconstruction, tomography provides maps of parameters that characterize the emission of the employed radiation or waves, or their interaction with the examined objects, for one or several cross-sections. Thus, it gives access to the inner structure of inert objects and living organisms in their full complexity. In this book, multidisciplinary specialists explain the foundations and principles of tomographic imaging and describe a broad range of applications. The content is organized in five parts, which are dedicated to image reconstruction, microtomography, industrial tomography, morphological medical tomography and functional medical tomography. -- Contents: 1.
