It involves the use of radioactive tracer to observe the metabolic processes of the body as an aid to diagnose a disease. It is most commonly used for the imaging of tumors and cancers. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of medical imaging which will be crucial for the progress of the subject in the future. The various types of medical imaging techniques along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in it. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject....
