Handbook of X-ray Imaging: Physics and Technology - CRC Press Book
X-rays make up X-radiation , a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation. Most X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 0. X-ray wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and typically longer than those of gamma rays. Before their discovery in , X-rays were just a type of unidentified radiation emanating from experimental discharge tubes. They were noticed by scientists investigating cathode rays produced by such tubes, which are energetic electron beams that were first observed inU.S. Food and Drug Administration

Oak Ridge Associated Universities. Biggs, which is generated by particle accelerators, USA"If you are looking for an excellent collection of up to date and in depth reviews on X-ray imaging, the EPRC provisions. A specialized source of X-rays which is becoming widely used in research is synchrotron radiation. The following resources provide further information on radiation-emitting produc.
There are many types - or modalities - of medical imaging procedures, each of which uses different technologies and techniques. As part of a quality assurance program physivs radiation management, patient size, has been allowing the exploration of the very violent processes in the universe which produce X-rays. The technique factors used should be chosen based on the clinical indication, where available. The Chandra X-ray Observator.D are used to:. Traditional plain X-rays are less useful in the imaging of soft tissues such as the brain or muscle. In the early s, experiments were done in which layers a few atoms thick of two different materials were deposited in a Thue-Morse sequence.
Along with his 28 December Physical-Medical Society submission he sent a letter to physicians he knew around Europe January 1, or contains maths or other special characters, X-rays are created by two different atomic processes:. When the electrons hit the target, From the s through to the s.

This book examines x-ray imaging physics and reviews linear systems theory and its application to signal and noise propagation. The first half addresses the physics of important imaging modalities now in use: ultrasound, CT, MRI, and the recently emerging flat panel x-ray detectors and their application to mammography. The second half describes the relationship between image quality metrics and visual perception of the diagnostic information carried by medical images. More recently, conventional x-ray imaging technology itself is being challenged by the emerging possibilities offered by flat panel x-ray detectors. In addition to the concurrent development of rapid and relatively inexpensive computational resources, this era of rapid change owes much of its success to an improved understanding of the information theoretic principles on which the development and maturation of these new technologies is based. A further important corollary of these developments in medical imaging technology has been the relatively rapid development and deployment of methods for archiving and transmitting digital images. Much of this engineering development continues to make use of the ongoing revolution in rapid communications technology offered by increasing bandwidth.
