4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent enhancement to the first edition, June 6, 2000

By	Eugene Mah "physics geek" (Charleston, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've found the first edition of the book to be quite useful for teaching radiology residents and studying for board exams. One of the best features of the book is that it is emminently readable and relatively uncluttered with jargon. The second edition expands on the first with additional material in each chapter, and considerably more pictures that are illustrative, rather than just eye candy. Concepts in radiation protection are further illustrated and reinforced by case studies. Any one in the radiological field would do well to have this text as part of their bookshelf. Those with the first edition, I recommend upgrading to the second edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellant book for teaching new and old radiographers, May 23, 2009

By	Richard L. Randolph "Richard Randolph" (memphis tn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was intrumental to my development in radiography. It was very informative and realy opens your eyes to the importance of ALARA. I had the pleasure of being instructed by the Author, Edwin Tilson. He guided me into and through my education process. Anyone could greatly bennefit from this book. It realy breaks down the steps that should become rote for the radiographer to protect them selves and their patients. It also gives great statistics of the effects of adhering to policy.
