Description:
Now in its Third Edition, this book provides a comprehensive review
for radiology residents preparing for the physics portion of the
American Board of Radiology written examination and for radiologic
technologists preparing for the American Registry of Radiologic
Technologists certification examination. The book features a complete
review of x-ray production and interactions, projection and tomographic
imaging, image quality, radiobiology, radiation protection, nuclear
medicine, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance. This edition
includes 70 per cent new illustrations, updated information on nuclear
medicine, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance, and expanded coverage of
radiobiology, radiation protection, and radiation dosing in adults and
children. More than 500 practice questions help the user fully prepare
for examinations. Table of Contents:
