Description
John Wiley Multi Modality Cardiac Imaging: Processing And Analysis by Patrick Clarysse and Denis Friboulet
The imaging of moving organs such as the heart, in particular, is a real challenge because of its movement. This book presents current and emerging methods developed for the acquisition of images of moving organs in the five main medical imaging modalities: conventional X–rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging and ultrasound. The availability of dynamic image sequences allows for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of an organ s dynamics, which is often linked to pathologies.
