Handbook of X-ray Imaging Physics and Technology

Handbook of X-ray Imaging Physics and Technology

Containing chapter contributions from over 130 experts this unique publication is the first handbook dedicated to the physics and technology of X-ray imaging offering extensive coverage of the field. This highly comprehensive work is edited by one of the world’s leading experts in X-ray imaging physics and technology and has been created with guidance from a Scientific Board containing respected and renowned scientists from around the world. The book's scope includes 2D and 3D X-ray imaging techniques from soft-X-ray to megavoltage energies including computed tomography fluoroscopy dental imaging and small animal imaging with several chapters dedicated to breast imaging techniques. 2D and 3D industrial imaging is incorporated including imaging of artworks. Specific attention is dedicated to techniques of phase contrast X-ray imaging. The approach undertaken is one that illustrates the theory as well as the techniques and the devices routinely used in the various fields. Computational aspects are fully covered including 3D reconstruction algorithms hard/software phantoms and computer-aided diagnosis. Theories of image quality are fully illustrated. Historical radioprotection radiation dosimetry quality assurance and educational aspects are also covered. This handbook will be suitable for a very broad audience including graduate students in medical physics and biomedical engineering; medical physics residents; radiographers; physicists and engineers in the field of imaging and non-destructive industrial testing using X-rays; and scientists interested in understanding and using X-ray imaging techniques. The handbook's editor Dr. Paolo Russo has over 30 years’ experience in the academic teaching of medical physics and X-ray imaging research. He has authored several book chapters in the field of X-ray imaging is Editor-in-Chief of an international scientific journal in medical physics and has responsibilities in the publication committees of international scientific organizations in medical physics.

Health Psychology

Health Psychology

In today’s sick world the application of psychological research and methods to issues about and around health could not be more important. Health psychologists pursue ambitious goals including: the promotion and maintenance of health; the prevention and management of illness; the improvement of healthcare systems; and the formulation of rational health policies. And they seek to understand dizzyingly difficult questions such as: how do people adapt to chronic illness? What factors influence healthy eating? How is stress linked to heart disease? And why do so many patients ignore medical advice and prescriptions? As research in and around health psychology burgeons as never before this new four-volume collection from Routledge’s acclaimed Critical Concepts in Psychology series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature. Edited by two leading scholars the collection gathers foundational and canonical work together with innovative and cutting-edge applications and interventions. With a full index together with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editors which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context Health Psychology will be particularly useful as a one-stop database allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily located. It will also be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiar—and sometimes overlooked—texts. For researchers and advanced students it is a vital one-stop research and reference resource.

Consciousness

Consciousness

What is the nature of subjectivity intersubjectivity and objectivity? And what is the relation of brain studies to individual experience? How can we avoid the mysteries of dualism and the implausibilities of reductionism? How do Eastern and Western conceptions of mind consciousness and self differ? These are the kind of dizzying questions that are asked by those working in consciousness studies. They are foundational for psychological science and now to meet the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject’s vast literature and the continuing explosion in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research output Routledge announces a new title in its Critical Concepts in Psychology series. Edited by Max Velmans a leading authority Consciousness is a new four-volume collection of the canonical and the very best cutting-edge scholarship in the field. It provides a synoptic view of all the key issues and current debates as well as guidance to likely future developments. With comprehensive introductions newly written by the editor which place the collected materials in their historical and intellectual context Consciousness is an essential work of reference. It is destined to be valued by psychologists and neuroscientists—as well as those working in related areas of philosophy—as a vital research resource.

Collected English Writings of Josiah Conder

Collected English Writings of Josiah Conder

Josiah Conder (1852–1920) also known as Kondoru-sensei was hired by the Meiji Japanese government as the first professor of architecture for the Imperial College of Engineering (now Faculty of Engineering University of Tokyo). After receiving the Soane Medallion Prize of the RIBA he arrived in Japan in 1877 spending the rest of his life there. Often called the ‘father of Japanese architecture’ he established the education of architecture in Japan and most of his graduates played essential roles in the development of modern Japan's architecture. He played a leading role in developing Tokyo as an urban city of Western style and designed numerous public buildings including the Rokumeikan which became a symbol of Westernisation in the Meiji period as well as Mitsubishi 1-gokan Nicholai-do Kyu-Iwasakitei which are considered landmark buildings of Japanese architecture. This collection gathers together and reproduces in facsimile 65 of Josiah Conder’s most significant writings related to Japanese architecture arts and culture. A folio volume of Paintings and Studies by Kawanabe Kyosai is also included reproduced in the original size with illustrations and full colour plates as well as an album of Dr Conder’s photographs and illustrations. Dr Conder’s obituaries appeared in newspapers and journals and these too are included. Together the material collated for this collection makes it an indispensable resource for any student or scholar of Japanese art and culture. | Collected English Writings of Josiah Conder
