Statistics of Medical Imaging : Chapman & Hall/CRC : 9781138114746 : 113811474X : 14 Jun 2017 : Statistical investigation into technology not only provides a better understanding of the intrinsic features of the technology (analysis), but also leads to an improved design of the technology (synthesis). Physical principles and mathematical procedures of medical imaging technologies have been extensively studied during past decades. However, less work has been done on the statistical aspects of these techniques. Statistics of Medical Imaging fills this gap and provides a theoretical framework for statistical investigation into medical imaging technologies. Features Describes physical principles and mathematical procedures of two medical imaging techniques: X-ray CT and MRIPresents statistical properties of imaging data (measurements) at each stage in the imaging processes of X-ray CT and MRIDemonstrates image reconstruction as a transform from a set of random variables (imaging data
