Editorial Reviews

Review

"Not only is it an essential text for the trainee radiologist, and any physics department participating in their teaching, but it is also a useful reference book for the trainee physicist as it provides an introductory overview of
diagnostic imaging."
Lauren Tedder, SCOPE, March 08
