The Architecture of Medical Imaging is divided into six convenient parts:

• Part 1 explains the importance of quality design and how it relates to changes in the healthcare and medical imaging industries
• Part 2 describes how to organize and manage an architectural project from the owner's perspective
• Part 3 presents the vast range of today's imaging techniques, as well as those still in research and development
• Part 4 addresses important planning and design concepts for medical imaging facilities
• Part 5 discusses medical imaging trends and their impact on facility design
• Part 6 provides useful appendices that examine specific imaging facility projects
