With every chapter revised and updated, Physics for Diagnostic
Radiology, Third Edition continues to emphasise the importance of
physics education as a critical component of radiology training.
This bestselling text helps readers understand how various imaging
techniques work, from planar analogue and digital radiology to
computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, and positron emission
tomography (PET) to ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI).
New to the Third Edition
- Material on digital receptors
- Emphasis on the differences between analogue and digital
images
- Coverage of multi-slice CT and three-dimensional resolution,
dual energy applications, and cone beam CT
- Special radiographic techniques, including subtraction
techniques and interventional radiology
- New chapter on PET, with discussion of multi-modality imaging
(PET/CT)
- Additional material on radiation doses and risks to
patients
- New chapter covering picture archiving and communication system
(PACS), teleradiology, networks, archiving, and related
factors
- A summary of the main teaching points at the beginning of each
chapter
After an introductory chapter on basic physics, the book follows
the x-ray imaging process: production of x-rays, interaction with
the patient, radiation measurement, the image receptor, the
radiological image, and image quality assessment. It then covers
more advanced x-ray techniques as well as imaging with radioactive
materials. The text also focuses on radiobiology, risk and
radiation protection, and imaging with non-ionising radiation. The
final chapter discusses data handling in a modern, electronic
radiology department.
