The Physics of Diagnostic Imaging

by E. Johnston, D. Dowsett, Peter A. Kenny, et al.

The last decade has seen a vast expansion in the variety of imaging equipment available to radiologists and developments in machine specifications continue apace. If radiologists and radiographers are to obtain the best image quality for the shortest possible patient exposure, they must understand the fundamentals of radiological sciences and then apply that knowledge to diagnostic imaging. Equally, medical physicists need to understand the clinical relevance of advances in their field. In short, this book with its companion multiple-choice question and answer book, provides an ideal single-source text for examination preparation as well as a thorough grounding in computing and digital imaging. Its content ensures its usefulness as a revision and reference tool, while its European and American perspective on technology, guidelines and regulations ensures its international relevance.
