Product Description
This up-to-date textbook is designed to convey a working knowledge of radiologic science, providing a base from which radiographers can make informed decisions about technical factors and diagnostic image quality in the workplace. Its unique, full-color design highlights important concepts and makes content easy to understand. User-friendly features, clearly written content, and up-to-date material makes this resource ideal for both practitioners and radiography students preparing for the ARRT certification exam. Instructor resources are available; please contact your Elsevier sales representative for details.
- Broad coverage of topics in radiologic science includes radiologic physics, imaging, radiobiology, and radiation protection - as well as special topics in imaging such as mammography, fluoroscopy, spiral computed tomography, and cardiovascular interventional procedures.
- Vibrant, full-color design highlights learning features, math formulas, and key definitions and concepts by focusing attention on important information and making it easy to review content and formulas.
- Objectives, key terms, outlines, chapter introductions and summaries help students organize and understand information.
- Quick reference information (formulas, conversion tables, abbreviations, etc.) is printed on colored end sheets for easy access to frequently used information.
- End-of-chapter questions provide opportunities for students to review and assess what they've learned, using definition exercises, short answer, and calculations.
- Special icons designate Math Formulas boxes and Important Concepts boxes to highlight and emphasize the most important information or mathematical formulas as they appear in the chapters.
- The latest advances in radiologic science are included, with significant updates to chapters on Mammography, Interventional, Multislice Spiral CT, Digital Imaging and Radiation Protection.
- A new chapter on Digital Image Receptors provides an analysis of newer approaches to direct capture radiography and explores the benefits of new modalities, such as lower patient radiation dose.
- Key terms are bolded and defined when first encountered in the text, and each bolded key term is included in an expanded glossary.

Rad Tech Workbook 
The workbook is a must! It has helped clarify information and given a nice overview of the concepts with practical applications. I have recommended it to other students in my class.

Perfect Shape
Was a little nervous about purchasing a book online but it came back in perfect shape and was exactly what i was looking for. Looks the same as buying it in the campus bookstore but at a savings of about 45$!

Good Resource 
This book has been a good resource in my program. It was originally supposed to be the testbook for our radiographic physics and equipment class but I haven't used it very much in that regard. Only about 1/4-1/3 of the book covers this topic. Overall, it is a good resource because it covers many areas within radiography.

Radiology Physics Workbook 
Overall, I thought this workbook to be very helpful. While not all of the information in the workbook was covered or required for the classroom, an understanding of all of the chapter material aided in increasing test scores. Be wary of the answer keys in the back; not all are correct. I found that at least one question in a set had a wrong answer listed in the key. Look up the answer in the text instead of relying on the keys; you will also gain more information this way helping to increase your test scores.

Hits the mark...
This book is very good in accurately and easily describing the x-ray system, fluoroscopy, radiologic physics, artifacts, and digital x-ray imaging. This book greatly helped me in school and served as an outstanding study reference for the ARRT exam. This book ranks high along with "The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Questions and Answers",Volumes 1 and 2 by Patrick Leonardi. These volumes had tons of pertinent questions/answers for ARRT prep. "Radiologic Science for Technologists: Physics, Biology and Protection" by Stewart C. Bushong will also continue to serve as a reference for years to come.
