The Molecular Imaging and Contrast Agent Database is
an online source of scientific information regarding molecular imaging and
contrast agents. The database includes, but is not limited to, agents developed
for positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed
tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), computed
tomography (CT), optical imaging, planar radiography, and planar gamma imaging.

This lecture note includes a
series of lectures with a parallel set of recitations that provide
demonstrations of basic principles. Both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation are
covered, including x-ray, PET, MRI, and ultrasound. Emphasis on the physics and
engineering of image formation.
Medical imaging is a
collection of technologies, all having the purpose of visualization of the
interior of the intact, living human body for the purpose of diagnosis.The
present book will try to explain the physical principle behind each of these
imaging modalities, together with a description of how these are implemented.
The book will also provide some clinical images.
