This book represents a major revision of the textbook (last published in its fourth edition in 1981) for radiographers studying the technical aspects of medical diagnostic image recording. It is aimed primarily at student radiographers working for the Diploma of the College of Radiographers, but will also be of help to those aiming for higher qualifications. The balance of the book has been modified to give more emphasis to non-photographic methods such as digital imaging, in line with current practice. Many new illustrations have been included and the style and presentation have been updated.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Following the sucess of the previous editions of this established text, the sixth edition of Chesneys' Radiographic Imaging reflects the advances in radiography education and practice and the changing role of the radiographer. With the needs of the student in mind, the authors have identified the growing need to reference source material wherever possible. Coverage of radiographic imaging processed has been revised and updated throughout. Digital technology has been expanded and new sections on digital picture archiving and communication systems and computed radiography have been introduced. Descriptions of dry silver imaging and receiver operating characteristics have been included. The importance of health and safety in processing areas is also covered. Chesneys' Radiographic Imaging provides a sound knowledge base for students. It will also be of interest to radiographers working in an increasingly demanding workplace with new technology of ever increasing complexity.
