Editorial Reviews for Computed Tomography: Physical Principles, Clinical Applications, and Quality Control
|
This book is dedicated to the subject of computed tomography physics. The new edition of this comprehensive text includes the very latest in computed tomography principles, applications, and technology. This resource discusses multi-slice computed tomography in detail with coverage of fundamental physical principles, image reconstruction, and applications such as 3-D imaging, fluoroscopy, angiography, virtual reality imaging, and volume scanning. This book also contains 22 quality control tests for CT scanners. It includes many completely updated chapters, revised illustrations, and new contributors. This is an essential reference textbook for anyone in the field of radiologic technology.
A Volume in the Saunders Contemporary Imaging Techniques Series

Summary: This book is terrible!
Comment: This book is terrible. It rambles on about topics and then says we don't even use them in CT. So why did I just read all that? The parts that I feel could use more discussion are barely touched. I do not recommend this book.

Summary: Needs to be updated!!- Overall good for 2001.
Comment: The book if very informative overall. Great look into physics formulas. However, it had a bad tendency of misusing or not clarifying terms. CURRENT Convolution/Fourier transform needs to be expanded. Furthermore, the book jumped around a lot. It would begin to describe a concept...stop... then complete the idea in a later chapter. The books limit is on 4 slice scanners. Since it was published in 2001, there is no mention of 16-64 slice scanners. When it came down to discussing modern equipment, the text very fell short. It is full of great pictures. I found more useful info off of the Siemens website.
This would be a great book if it were current.
I am going to buy: Computed Tomography : Fundamentals, System Technology, Image Quality, Applications (Hardcover)
by Willi A. Kalender
It looks more promising.

Summary: Computed Tomography, physical principles, clinical applications and quality control
Comment: This book has a wealth of information on CT. It is intended for the serious, hard core CT tech or Doctor who would like to know the intricate in's and outs' of CT. There are many pages of equations used to derive the intricacies of the CT process. What this book is NOT is a good review text for the CT registry. The information is there, but it is extremely hard to find because the Index is limited in scope. For example, looking for "Pixel" in the index turns up nothing. "Voxel" likewise turns up nothing. I realize these are very basic terms, and any tech looking to take the registry should know these by heart, but it is indicative of the lack in the index. Other terms that one would like to brush up on are also not there. If I were to do it over again, I would not buy this book to review for the CT Registry. otto

Summary: Computed Tomography:Physical Principles, Clinical Applications, and Quality Contro
Comment: If I had depended on this book alone, I would not have passed the CT Registry. I bought this book originally and felt I wasn't getting what I needed, so I went to MIC and bought their course. That isn't perfect either, but between the two we had success. I didn't feel like the physics of CT was explained at the level that I or the people I was studying with could understand. I feel that this book needs to be more comprehensive. There was not nearly enough anatomy or how to figure dose, pitch, etc. Maybe it was just all over my head and I needed it explained in simpler terms. It is a good tool, but certainly not all the information you need to test.

Summary: CT Text Sheds Light on CT
Comment: This review was written by Debra A. Durick., MPA.,RT(R)(CT)(M) of the University of South Alabama and appeared in Radiologic Technology (March/April 2001): "The second edition of this book improves on the first. Now in paperback, it has more graphics and illustrations and is an excellent textbook for teaching as well as a helpful resource for individuals planning to take the Registry Exam in computed tomography. The author has expanded the text with updated and new information on spiral/helical CT, realtime CT fluoroscopy, virtual endoscopy and CT angiography. Mr Seeram presents the material in an organized sequence, beginning with the history of CT and continuing with information on CT physics, data acquisition, computers, image quality assurance, new information on ways CT is being used today, pediatric CT and protocols. The information flows well, building on itself with each chapter. After introducing information, Mr Seeram thoroughly discusses it in an understandable manner. In particular he does an excellent job of explaining difficult concepts sunc as back projection, volume scanning, the role of computers in CT, quality assurance and the physical principles of CT. The graphics and illustrations are self-explanatory and are used throughout the text to reiterate the difficult information discussed. The author is an excellent teacher in the area of CT and anyone can gain from his explanations. The first edition of this textbook is used in our advanced CT classes and has been an asset for these classes. The book is worth its cost, considering the information it provides. Its strengths are the easily understandable explanations of difficult information and the excellent graphics and illustrations which reinforce the information covered. The summary comparison of three different manufacturers' units at the back of the book helps readers understand the different terminology used by different manufacturers. I do not find any weaknesses, except possibly a little less information on basic computer components. I would recommend this as a course textbook and as a reference text for anyone taking the Registry exam."
