From the reviews:“Medical Imaging Informatics … introducing the reader to the multifaceted discipline of imaging informatics and following the process of patient care along the way. … geared toward researchers in the field and toward radiologists with a serious interest in the future of informatics. Strengths of the text include the frequent real-world examples of the concepts discussed, which are directly related to current research and developments in imaging informatics. … reference lists will be invaluable to researchers in the field.” (A. Kyle Jones, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 51 (10), October, 2010)
