The Architecture of Medical Imaging helps you understand the requirements of design for this complex equipment!
The Architecture of Medical Imaging is the foremost guide to the design of
state-of-the-art medical imaging facilities for radiography, MRI, and CT and PET
scans. Written by an industry expert, this useful resource discusses complex
issues in a user-friendly language that is fully understandable to healthcare
planners, department heads, and executives. No other reference makes it easier
to understand the technical requirements of radiological equipment and
procedures. 464 pp.
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
