Product Description

Strength of the book is the writing style, with an approach that builds from the simple to the complex. Principles of Radiographic Imaging presents clear and concise information on radiographic contrast, density, detail and distortion, and ties those concepts together to present an overall picture of radiographic exposure. Radiographic Imaging is a required part of the Radiologic Technology curriculum, so any student who is studying to be a Radiologic Technologist, will need a book such as this to complete the curriculum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Textbook for School, December 30, 2008

By	Maria V. Martinez (South San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The textbook explained technical concepts in a manner that makes it "easier" to understand. I am currently a Diagnostic Medical Imaging student. I use this book multiple times as an additional reference and review for my other core classes.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is very detailed!!!, November 13, 2007

By	Aldrin Antipolo "Jhaez" (Olongapo, Philippines) - See all my reviews

If you're looking for a very informative yet fun to read book then, you should have to consider to buy this one. Most specially if you're a radiologic technology student. This book provides the information you just need in a radiography curriculum, to increase your deeper understanding of radiographic imaging (the best when preparing for licensure exams). Also consider to buy its Workbook to test yourself and to see how much you really understood the content you have just learned in the accompanying textbook.
