From the reviews: This book is 'a presentation of core concepts that students must understand in order to make independent contributions'. The focus is on the principles of image formation for the main medical imaging modalities. ... The volume is recommended to students and their teachers at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. (Elizabeth Berry, Scope, Vol. 22 (4), December, 2013)

Author Information

Dr. Mark A. Haidekker received an education in Electrical Engineering at the University of Hannover in Germany and a PhD degree in computer science from the University of Bremen Germany. His research originally was focused on algorithm development in computer aided radiology, notably the improvement of estimation of the individual fracture risk in osteoporosis based on CT images. Between 1999 and 2002, he was employed at the University of California, San Diego, first as postdoctoral research fellow and later as Assistant Research Scientist. In 2002, he assumed a position as Assistant Professor at the University of Missouri in Columbia. During this time, his research shifted towards biomechanical properties of the cell membrane, and in the process, he developed new fluorescent reporters (molecular rotors) for the real-time imaging of microviscosity and local shear stress in biomembranes and biofluids. Since 2007, he is employed as Associate Professor in the College of engineering at the University of Georgia. His research involves x-ray tomography, fluorescent and hyperspectral imaging.
