Sketches of the standard imaging modalities : different ways of creating visible contrast among tissues
Image quality and dose : what constitutes a "good" medical image?
The creation of two-dimensional x-ray projection maps (shadowgrams) of the body : differential attenuation of x-rays by tissues
20th century (analog) radiography and fluoroscopy : capturing the x-ray shadow with a film cassette or with an image intensifier tube plus electronic optical camera combination
Radiation dose and radiogenic risk : ionization-induced damage to DNA can cause stochastic, deterministic, and teratogenic health effects and how to prevent them
21st century (digital) imaging : computer-based representation, acquisition, processing, storage, transmission, and analysis of images
Digital planar imaging : replacing film and image intensifiers with solid state, electronic image receptors
Computed tomography : superior contrast in three-dimensional x-ray attenuation maps
Nuclear medicine : contrast from differential uptake of a radiopharmaceutical by tissues
Diagnostic ultrasound : contrast from differences in elasticity or density across tissue interfaces
MRI in one dimension and without relaxation : a gentle approach to a challenging subject
MRI with T1 and T2 relaxation and in three dimensions
Evolving and experimental modalities.
