Dr. Seeram has had more than 26 textbooks published to date, including Computed Tomography (Elsevier). These books have a world-wide distribution and several of them have been adopted by Schools of Medical Imaging all over the world for their educational programs. He was formerly the Program Head of the Medical Imaging Degree at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, where he worked for 38 years serving the Medical Imaging Education and Clinical Practice Communities.
