The range of imaging tools, both in the type of wave phenomena used and in the devices that utilize them, is vast. This book illustrates this range, with wave phenomena that cover the entire electromagnetic spectrum, as well as ultrasound, and devices that vary from those that simply detect the presence of objects to those that produce images in exquisite detail. The aim also is to give an understanding of the principles behind the imaging process and a general account of how those principles are utilized, without delving into the technical details of the construction of specific devices.
