Product Description Edited by the inventor of the MedATR concept that lead to the first IR-CAD for the early detection of breast cancer, Medical Infrared Imaging presents many of the new ideas, concepts, and technologies that are key to the acceptance of infrared imaging as a viable, non-invasive, low-cost, first-line detection modality. Presenting revolutionary advances and their medical applications, the book provides comprehensive information on the resulting technology and hardware. It covers the fundamentals of thermal imaging, cutting-edge concepts, novel processing techniques, and new applications in diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring. The book emphasizes the importance of standardization, calibration, and protocols, databases for storage and retrieval of images, and ethical obligations. | ||

Spares no detail exploring the nuances a lifesaving technology Edited by the inventor of the MedATR concept that engendered the first IR-CAD enabling early detection of breast cancer, Medical Infrared Imaging is an in-depth, state-of-the science textbook for students and biomedical engineering professionals alike. Chapters cover the recent history of modern medical advances that make medical applications of infrared imaging possible; the physics and physiological basis of thermal imaging; the latest concepts of the practice including dynamic thermal imaging, thermal tomography, and the most cutting-edge processing techniques for the early detection of breast cancer; and much more. A superbly researched and presented resource that spares no detail exploring the nuances a lifesaving technology. | ||
Comprehensive and Valuable This text is an excellent source of information for both the newly interested clinician as well as the experienced clinician involved in the medical thermal imaging field. From camera construction, specifications, infrared physics and diagnostic applications this book is a wealth of information concerning a field which is virtually unknown to the medical community. I would recommend this book to any clinician, patient or interested individual or corporation as a solid background text which is contemporary and very up to date for 2008. A four star rating was provided instead of a 5 star rating due to a lack of discussion in the breast section concerning more appropriate positioning, otherwise a really fantastic work. For information on correct positioning arguments for breast cancer screening utilizing medical infrared, visit the library at www.breastthermography.org | ||
