Physics World Medical Imaging Briefing 2020
Welcome to this free-to-read Physics World Briefing dedicated to all things medical imaging. In this issue we examine recent developments in imaging modalities ranging from X-ray to optical, MRI to ultrasound, PET to SPECT, and more. And as these imaging technologies and devices evolve and progress, their potential medical uses expand alongside. We describe applications such as monitoring brain glucose to help detect Alzheimer’s disease, using 3D ultrafast ultrasound to measure coronary blood flow and even investigating the effects of space travel on astronauts’ brains.
