| Summary |
This unique textbook explains the fundamental physics that makes it possible to see inside things around us. Written for professional physicists and students, it follows applications in medicine and elsewhere. It puts physics in a cultural context, addresses matters of fear and safety, and reaches some significant conclusions. - ;Physics has reduced fear and increased safety for society, largely by extending the power to see. The methods used are magnetic resonance, ionising radiation and sound, with their extensions. This textbook expounds the fundamental physics of these. It follows how they. |
