This book focuses on applications of micro CT, CBCT and CT in medicine and engineering, comprehensively explaining the basic principles of these techniques in detail, and describing their increasing use in the imaging field. It particularly highlights the scanning procedure, which represents the most crucial step in micro CT, and discusses in detail the reconstruction process and the artifacts related to the scanning processes, as well as the imaging software used in analysis. Written by international experts, the book illustrates the application of micro CT in different areas, such as dentistry, medicine, tissue engineering, aerospace engineering, geology, material engineering, civil engineering and additive manufacturing. Covering different areas of application, the book is of interest not only to specialists in the respective fields, but also to broader audience of professionals working in the fields of imaging and analysis, as well as to students of the different disciplines.

This book fills a lacuna in the literature that is currently available for radiology trainees. It provides the basic knowledge required and a step-by-step approach to tackle and systematically review the most commonly performed computed tomography (CT) scans. This is presented in 11 separate concise guides which allow the trainee to develop a good comprehensive reviewing routine and avoid missing important review areas. The guides include: (1) Head, (2) Cerebral angiogram, (3) Carotoid angiogram, (4) Cerebral venogram, (5) Thorax, (6) CTPA, (7) Aortogram, (8) Abdomen & Pelvis, (9) Kidneys, Ureters & Bladder, (10) Spine (cervical, thoracic & lumbosacral), and (11) Peripheral angiogram (upper & lower limbs). Other sections of the book include a concise protocol index, a descriptive terminology index, and checklists with review areas which are all useful for on-call reporting. The content was reviewed by senior consultant radiologists. It is not intended to explain detailed pathology or detailed anatomy, as these are well covered in other dedicated textbooks. It has been prepared with the junior radiology trainee in mind. Senior radiology trainees have also used it to audit their current practice against the systematic guides and to help them with their on-call work. Other specialists and professionals who wish to develop a good foundation in systematically reviewing specific CT scan studies can certainly also benefit from this work. This resource is available as a concise printed book as well as an eBook so that you can easily carry it with you at work. It is a must have for those who are just starting off in radiology!This book qualifies for Kindle Matchbook which allows Amazon customers who have purchased the paperback to subsequently buy the ebook for just £2.99

Since its introduction in 1972, X-ray computed tomography (CT) has evolved into an essential diagnostic imaging tool for a continually increasing variety of clinical applications. The goal of this book was not simply to summarize currently available CT imaging techniques but also to provide clinical perspectives, advances in hybrid technologies, new applications other than medicine and an outlook on future developments. Major experts in this growing field contributed to this book, which is geared to radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, engineers, and clinical and basic researchers. We believe that CT scanning is an effective and essential tools in treatment planning, basic understanding of physiology, and and tackling the ever-increasing challenge of diagnosis in our society.
