Ehsan Samei, Ph.D. is a Professor at Duke University with appointments in Radiology, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Medical Physics. He is the chief imaging physicist at Duke University Health System and serves as the director of the Medical Physics Graduate Program at Duke University. . Norbert Pelc, Sc.D is Boston Scientific Applied Biomedical Engineering Professor, Professor of Bioengineering and of Radiology and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He is former chair of the Department of Bioengineering.

“This book will also serve as a useful reference point for the consultant radiologist wishing to brush up on CT physics alongside advances within their subspeciality. ... this book is not confined to one of these fields and remains relevant to a wide audience.” (Mark Wills, RAD Magazine, December, 2020)
