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.
