Image Acquisition Devices and Their Application to Diagnostic Medicine

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 19))

Abstract

This part of the NATO Institute Proceedings will be devoted to a broad review of photoelectronic image acquisition devices used in diagnostic medicine. To the extent that space permits, material covered will include their identity and mechanisms of operation coupled to a discussion of applications. It will not include for example, CT, MRI and ultrasonic imagers which will be covered in other parts of the Proceedings.
