""The care, clarity and depth of most of the chapters contained in that book are admirable. I highly recommend this book as a source for graduates and engineers involved in the field of medical imaging."" Optics and Photonics News, https: //www.optica-opn.org/home/book_reviews/2023/1123/medical_image_reconstruction_radiation_from_analyt/ (01.12.2023) For the 1rst edition: ""The structure and exposition are very good. Each chapter has a one-page summary that really does capture all the key points of the chapter. There are good explanations of all the scanning methods and how the physics works and how they are implemented. The book gives several alternate algorithms for processing the data, and gives good explanations of their strengths and weaknesses."" MAA Reviews
