内容説明

Advanced technologies in medicine, e.g. computed tomography, echo-doppler diagnostic devices, radionuclear medicine and radiation therapy, have produced a complete change in medical practice, taking us from passive patient care to active treatment capable of challenging incurable diseases. The concept of disease on the patient side has also been altered from one being passively recognized to one that may be actively cured. Within the present rapidly evolving situation, the publication of the current topics in medical physics and medical and biological engineering in very timely for scientists interested in this field. This book consists of the manuscripts of the tutorial session in the World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. All the contributors are acknowledged world-class specialists. Important topics were selected by the Scientific Program Committee according to the theme of the Congress "Frontiers of Medicine and Health Care - Important Issues for the Next Mellinium".
