Good survey text of medical imaging techiques & technologi

This book provides introductory overviews of X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, and radionuclide medical imaging techniques and technologies. I found it to be an excellent text for anyone with a scientific background wanting to quickly understanding these different imaging techniques. Each chapter makes liberal use of charts, diagrams, and images to quickly convey key concepts. Each chapter also provides a long list of references for further reading. A very clear, easy-to-read text.
