Product Description
Product Description
Imaging Science is the essential textbook for all undergraduate students and others training in diagnostic radiography, providing unique integrated coverage of physics, photography and equipment.
Imaging Science shows the reader the principles of achieving maximum diagnostic image quality while minimising the potentially harmful effects of exposure to ionising radiation. The first five chapters explain X–ray imaging, from conventional procedures through to computed tomography (CT). Then, three chapters cover the imaging modalities based on gamma radiation (RNI), ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI). For readers whose previous science study has been limited, chapters 1 – 4 are accompanied by commentary notes which draw out and define key scientific terms.

From the Publisher
A core textbook for all diagnostic radiography students. Until recently photography and equipment were studied as separate subjects. However, today these subjects are integrated along with physics and called "radiographic science". This book fills the market gap created by this change, providing an up-to-date, integrated text.
This is a major new undergraduate textbook for diagnostic radiography students. It has been painstakingly put together to ensure maximum useability for the student. The text is supplemented by over 70 high quality illustrations
as well as commentary notes to provide definitions of key scientific terms.

Format:Paperback
I used this book whilst in the library quite a few times and found it useful, as a student radiographer, for learning the very basics of different imaging modalities. It covers MRI and CT and so on in a brief way. I wouldn't say this is especially useful if you already have some knowledge of these modalities. There's a small amount of coverage, a chapter, on the production of x-rays and types produced but again this is quite brief.
If you're looking at this textbook because you're after an overview of a certain modality then I would recommend this as a great starting block. If however, you're looking to find out about x-ray production and essentially the physics behind imaging then I would recommend "The principles of radiological physics" which is simple to read and has more depth - this depth is essential in understanding and for revision/exams.
As I've mentioned, this is useful but again only as an overview. I personally would recommend investing in a more detailed book, not necessarily more complicated just with more depth. This way you'll only need that one book as opposed to purchasing this one and having to get another one once you've developed your understanding.
