Introductory Biomedical Imaging

Case Studies

Introductory Biomedical Imaging is focused on principles and practices that underlie the creation of quality biomedical images. However, the creation of images is only the beginning. Decisions about what images to create and, more particularly, what interpretation to attach to those images can require years of additional training in biology and medicine. The following “case studies” explore real-life medical imaging cases involving the authors, their families, and their pets. These case studies are intended to exemplify the breadth and prevalence of medical imaging and to provide context for the simulations that appear elsewhere on this website.
