Preface to the First Edition

Image acquisition and processing have become a standard method for qualifying and quantifying experimental measurements in various Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Discoveries have been made possible in medical sciences by advances in diagnostic imaging such as x-ray based computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Biological and cellular functions have been revealed with new imaging techniques in light based microscopy. Advancements in material sciences have been aided by electron microscopy. All these examples and many more require knowledge of both the physical methods of obtaining images and the analytical processing methods to understand the science ...
