Medical Applications of Synchrotron Radiation by M Ando & C. Uyama

Proceedings of the International Workshop on Medical Applications of Synchrotron Radiation

Taken from the International Workshop on Medical Applications of Synchrotron Radiation (HAGA 97), this volume details communication between medical practitioners and physics researchers where they discussed practical and theoretical aspects of medical imaging with synchrotron radiation. Synchrotron radiation has important applications in medical imaging, especially in such areas as intravenous coronary angiography, mammography, bronchography and monochromatic computed tomography. In medicine, phase contrast imaging is a development, with the potential to become an X-ray eye in the 21st century. To discuss these and related topics, medical doctors met with physicists and other researchers in Haga, Japan, in August 1997. This volume contains the proceedings of the International Workshop on Medical Applications of Synchrotron Radiation (HAGA 97), where practitioners from the world of medicine could communicate directly with researchers from the world of physics to discuss practical and theoretical aspects of medical imaging with synchrotron radiation. This volume, presenting the outcome of the discussions and presentations in the workshop, should be a valuable resource to all who are interested in medical imaging and physics.
