This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the principles and techniques of radiographic imaging. The physics principles that are the foundation of radiography are explained clearly, with numerous illustrations, examples and solved problems to aid comprehension. Chapters are organized into six units: Creating the Beam, Protecting Patients and Personnel, Creating the Image, Analyzing the Image, Comparing Exposure Systems, and Special Imaging Systems. Specialized imaging modalities, such as mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography and computed radiography, are explained in individual chapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent text for students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Radiographic Imaging: An Art and a Science (Radiographic Technology) (Hardcover)
Overall, this is an excellent text for radiography students and also physician residents in radiology. The text is comprehensive and easy to understand. We particularly like the abundance of drawings and tables. The special imaging chapters are very detailed and provide excellent information for students and others who use this text for reference purposes. The chapter on mammography is particularly good as it is the only chapter of its kind in any textbook. This chapter is excellent for those programs that teach comprehensive mammography. The mammography art and images are superb. Seasoned radiography educators are authors of this text and that makes this a unique book and one that is accurate technically.

CD-ROM Not compatible with VISTA,
By Mike "MIke" (DE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Radiographic Imaging: An Art and a Science (Hardcover)
Book is great. WARNING: CD-ROM not compatible with VISTA. Called Delmar Learning and they were not at all sympathetic. There are no plans to release a VISTA compatible CD-ROM.

overall good basic understanding,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Radiographic Imaging: An Art and a Science (Radiographic Technology) (Hardcover)
I instruct Radiography Physics for 1st and 2nd year radiography students. I have found this book to be one of the easier ones to understand for basic priciples. Excellent learning or review tool.
