The field of medical imaging has been revolutionized by advances in computing technologies and systems
resulting in new and expanded image systems finding their way into the medical environment. These
systems now range from those devoted to planar imaging using x-rays to technologies that are just
emerging, such as virtual reality.
Consider the following:
• Some of the systems, such as ultrasound, are relatively inexpensive, while others, such as positron
emission tomography (PET) facilities, cost millions of dollars for the hardware and the employment
of Ph.D.-level personnel to operate them.
• Systems that make use of x-rays have been designed to image anatomic structures, while others
that make use of radioisotopes provide functional information.
• The fields of view that can be imaged range from the whole body obtained with nuclear medicine
bone scans to images of cellular components using magnetic resonance (MR) microscopy.
• The designs of transducers for the imaging devices to the postprocessing of the data to allow easier
interpretation of the images by medical personnel are all aspects of the medical imaging devices
field.
Because of the importance of this field,
Biomedical Imaging
has been developed taking the most relevant
sections to this important topic from the second edition of
The Biomedical Engineering Handbook
published by CRC Press in 2000.
The handbook begins with a section on physiologic systems, edited by Robert Plonsey, that provides
an excellent overview of human systems. In this way biomedical engineers engaged in medical imaging
can better understand the utilization of various imaging modalities to provide information regarding
structure and physiologic function. The physiologic systems covered include cardiovascular, nervous,
vision, auditory, respiratory, endocrine, and gastrointestinal.
The primary editor of
Biomedical Imaging,
Dr. Karen Mudry, then provides an overview of the main
medical imaging devices as well as some of the emerging systems. The topics include x-ray, computed
tomographic (CT) systems, magnetic resonance imaging, SPECT systems, ultrasound, and virtual reality,
among others.
