The book covers imaging in medicine, structure of matter, radioactive decay, and radiation interactions, then extends to production of X rays, radiation quantity and quality, and detector-based measurement. It also addresses analysis of nuclear data, probability and statistics, instrumentation for nuclear imaging, radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, image-quality determinants, perception, ultrasound, Doppler effects, and magnetic resonance fundamentals.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/medical-imaging-physics-fourth-edition/326739/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/medical-imaging-physics-fourth-edition/326739.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Asher","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-26","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",15,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What topics does Medical Imaging Physics cover?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The book covers core physics for imaging, including radioactive decay, radiation interactions, X-ray production, quantitative measurement with detectors, and image-quality analysis.
