Professor Mia K. Markey is the editor of Physics of Mammographic Imaging, which was published in November 2012.
The book discusses imaging of the breast for detection, diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of breast cancer. It features contributions from scientists representing research institutions from across the world. Additionally, it showcases UT researchers including Markey, Professor Stanislav Emelianov, and Iulia Graf, a postdoctoral fellow with the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
Although two-dimensional x-ray imaging has been the dominant method used for a number of years, new innovations in digital imaging are increasing the effectiveness of mammography. The book, intended for medical physicists, biomedical engineers, and radiologists, characterizes the current role and future potential of x-ray based digital breast imaging.
Physics of Mammographic Imaging is published by CRC Press, a division of Taylor & Francis Group. It is part of Dr. William Hendee’s Imaging in Medical Diagnosis and Therapy series.
