1.0 out of 5 stars
Don't waste your money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Computed Tomography (Paperback)
A completely useless book. I am a PhD physicist and purchased this book to get an introduction into tomography for purposes of building a small scale laser CAT system. I thought I was purchasing a book that would explain the algorithms and procedures presently used, so that I did not have to derive it all myself. The fact that this book, so completely devoid of information as it is, is touted as explaining Computed Tomography sufficient to allow someone to pass some sort of "CT Certification" is enough to tell me to run screaming from a hospital if they ever want to do any form of CT on me. Any high-school kid could read and assimilate this book in about an hour. I would suggest anyone interested in learning about Computed Tomography simply go to their University Physics library and read the March 1996 issue of the journal "Measurement Science & Technology".

Not a good review book at all....registry question book is also of poor quality....would not recommend purchase of either...there are better books on the market for registry review in CT

2.0 out of 5 stars
Filled with errors but sufficient for CT registry review.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Computed Tomography (Paperback)
Many errors exist in Ms. Romans' CT review book. However, it is a helpful guide when trying to understand the basics behind the concept of computed technology. It would not be wise to use this text as one's only resource toward successful completion of the CT registry. Far better literature exist that would be benificial; seperate review books on sectional anatomy would also be prudent. Should one have the opportunity, attending a seminar on CT would be extremely helpful. There is an exceptional speaker on the lecture circuit by the name of Wil Reddinger that will basically cover everything needed to pass the exam. He is well versed in this modality and has himself authored works on this subject. If, like the previous PhD. who reviewd this book, one is looking to assimilate all there is to know about logarithm, array processors and interpolation, you must find a much more comprehensive and technical text. But, at the same time, just reading the front cover should have been enough to inform even a layman of that necessity.
