Workbook for Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography

This workbook has helped me prepare for my exam's and improve my scores.

Excellent book, great reference

I found this book to be essential for all the info I needed for radiation protection. It's not only well-written but quite complete. It also served as a wonderful reference for studying for the ARRT exam. Another great reference for the ARRT exam, is: *The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi, Volume 1, 2 and 3* This book had great questions that were a definite help for passing the ARRT exam. You can't go wrong with *Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography* and with Leonardi's book.

Review of Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography

Having utilized Mary Alice Statkiewicz-Sherer's excellent text Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography through all three of her excellent editions I feel that I can well recommend this as not only a course level text book but an excellent review. The authors do not stand on the historic scare tactics of many others and yet cover this extensive topic with clarity and objectivity. My students have done well with this book as a text and study guide for the Radiation Protection section of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, Radiographer examination. I find this is one of the only texts to cover the topic of radiation hormesis with truth and clarity that bespeaks the findings of the extensive double longitudinal study on radiographers performed by the University of Minnesota. With full knowledge as an educator of some 36 years I find this inexpensive paperback version excellent for student afordability.
