This outstanding text introduces the principles and techniques of radiographic imaging. The text is organized into five units which take the student from creating the beam through creating and analyzing the image. Various exposure systems are thoroughly explained, as well as special imaging modalities. Important concepts in basic physics, radiation protection, and Xray equipment are covered. Emphasis is placed on practical approaches to help students create an acceptable image for proper diagnosis. This book should be of interest to students/trainees in radiography and radiographic imaging. [via]
