A great book is a precious help. I have several medical imaging books, which I use to cross information. General medical imaging books which focus on the physics and engineering principles are my favorites. Here is some of them:
Medical Imaging Physics. William Hendee and E. Russel Ritenour.
http://www.amazon.com/Medical-Imaging-Physics-William-Hendee/dp/0471382264
Medical Imaging Signals and Systems. Jerry Prince and Jonathan Links.
http://www.amazon.com/Medical-Imaging-Signals-Systems-Prince/dp/0130653535
The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging. J. Bushberg, J. Seibert, E. Leidholdt Jr., J. Boone.
http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Physics-Medical-Imaging-Third/dp/0781780578
These two are also quite famous and used, but I have personally never used them:
Introduction to Medical Imaging: Physics, Engineering and Clinical Applications. N. Smith and A. Webb.
http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Medical-Imaging-Engineering-Applications/dp/0521190657
Fundamentals of Medical Imaging. Paul Suetens.
http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Medical-Imaging-Paul-Suetens/dp/0521519152
Do you know any other good books?
This is a blog about Medical Imaging. As someone working on Medical Imaging for some years and who enjoys reading blogs, it seemed only natural that I start my own blog. Know your images is a blog directed to researchers and professionals in Medical Imaging, but also to all researchers out there and the general public.

Breast tomosynthesis
Breast tomosynthesis is a 3D technique, which I believe will change the screening of breast cancer. This technique is able to produce 3D images of the breast, instead of 2D projection images available in mammography. 3D imaging can unfold small lesions, such as micro-calcification and give a better understanding of the 3D shape of the lesion. Furthermore, it is possible that in the future compression will be less than in the mammography and dose will be comparable.
