RIDDLED with MISTAKES by johannes

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.

Bought this as a study guide for my podiatric assistant. It is overkill but had important easy to understand material.

Good flow but many mistakes by S. Ferenc (Michigan)

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).

Ordered a book for a college class and received it earlier than expected. The book was new and in excellent condition. I was very satisfied with the sellers service.
