Imaging in Medical Diagnosis and Therapy - Tomosynthesis Imaging, 1E 2014 [PDF][Dr.Carson] VRG


Since their inception over a century ago, advances in the science

and technology of medical imaging and radiation therapy

are more profound and rapid than ever before. Further, the

disciplines are increasingly cross-linked as imaging methods

become more widely used to plan, guide, monitor, and assess

treatments in radiation therapy. Today, the technologies of

medical imaging and radiation therapy are so complex and so

computer-driven that it is difficult for the persons (physicians

and technologists) responsible for their clinical use to know

exactly what is happening at the point of care, when a patient

is being examined or treated.
