This book has an excellent review for basic math, scientific notation and basic concepts of radiation science. The difficulty that I have experienced with this book is the numerous mistakes(often pointed out by the students) as well as the minimal explanations to the problems presented. This should not be an exclusive text for radiology students but is a good supplemental text because it does have a good accompanying workbook.

I just finished a college course in Radiologic Physics using this book. Each chapter's information and formulas build upon the previous chapter, and I found the flow of information easy to follow. The examples problems were helpful (sometimes) to make the author's point. But, thats where the problem lies with this book. The example problems had too many mathmatical mistakes or misprints. In one chapter the author kept switching the variable "L" with "1" within the same problem. Most other problems were either missing steps or the math was just wrong. I would spend twenty minutes on an example trying to figure out how they got an answer and finally would either just move on or come up with my own answer and verify it with the instructor the next class. For a book in its 9th Ed., someone should have caught these mistakes long ago. Each chapter had at least two, to as many as six mistakes. While there is good information in this book and great diagrams and charts as to how X-rays are produced, the example problems make this book average instead of good. (Definitely buy the workbook if you purchase this book).

While it is a good book, it needs considerable review by its author and editors because it is riddled with mathematical errors and mistakes. There are several areas in the book that contradict other areas in the book.

The book came in good condition and on the day that it was scheduled to arrive. Very pleased with the service.

Book was used and has a lot of highlighting. The description said that it may have highlights, but the book is usable.

Ok text book, but needs an update in the worst way. Too much film screen and not enough digital. Film screen is virtually history now, in fact there are almost no questions on the registry regarding film screen.

I know Mr. Bushong is predisposed with other life issues, but if they don't get with the program, some other text book will knock this off the pedestal

I have not had a chance to open the book yet or even unwrap it but it all looks good and arrived on time.

We received the book in a timely manner. It was in great shape and we couldnt be more happy with the product

This is not the main book that I learn out of in class, but when it comes to studying it's another source to look into. In every chapter there are small boxes at the end of each subtitle that sums it up into a sentence or two of what the key information is.

Very fast delivery, my book came even before the first estimated delivery date. I will definitely use this company again.
