Statistics of Medical Imaging

Extensive work is being done in the statistical aspects of medical imaging, and this book fills the gap in the literature to provide a unified framework of study. It presents a complete look at medical imaging and statistics, from the statistical aspects of imaging technology to the statistical analysis of images. It provides technicians and students with the statistical principles that underlay medical imaging and offers reference material for researchers involved in the design of new technology. Illustrations are included throughout as are many real examples and algorithms. The text also includes exercises developed out of the author's many years of experience.

"Statistics of Medical Imaging is an in-depth and mathematical account of the statistics associated with medical imaging technologies, particularly x-ray CT and MR imaging. The text is logically structured into a review of mathematics and imaging principles, and then it transitions to describing the statistics of CT and MR imaging and images and image analysis models. ... the text is successful at developing a structured argument for the statistical properties with supporting background physics, mathematical proofs, and integrated statistical models for both x-ray CT and MRI." -Camille Palmer, Health Physics-The Radiation Protection Journal, March 2013 "This is a good reference for graduate students and researchers in signal processing and electrical and systems engineering. ... The author has demonstrated a mastery and thorough knowledge of this subject and has done a superb job of describing CT and MR image and imaging statistics systematically. The book is unique in the targeted signal processing literature, rationally illustrating the steps of analyzing CT and MR images statistically and providing an evaluation tool. The equation derivations are written in a rigorous way so that researchers and students in signal processing can understand the basic principles. With some background knowledge, researchers can also perform statistical analysis and evaluate the statistics on CT and MR images and imaging processes." -Teh Lin, Doody's Review Service, 2013
