Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book provides a very welcome one-stop reference on the subject. … each chapter is painstakingly referenced and the end-of-chapter reference sections are extensive. … The book seems predominantly aimed at engineers, physicists and researchers. … The book is most useful as a reference for many different staff groups, and as such would be a valuable addition to any medical physics and engineering departmental bookshelf.” (Mark Worrall, Scope, Vol. 23 (2), June, 2014)
“This is an in-depth review of advanced topics in 4D imaging and modeling of respiratory motion. … The equation derivations are particularly helpful to researchers and students trying to understand the basic principles. … The authors demonstrate a thorough knowledge of 4D imaging and modeling of respiratory motion. The chapters are well structured and contain a wealth of detailed and timely information.” (Jing Cai, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2014)
