Imaging Science is the
essential textbook for all undergraduate students and others training
in diagnostic radiography, providing unique integrated coverage of
physics, photography and equipment.
Imaging Science shows
the reader the principles of achieving maximum diagnostic image quality
while minimising the potentially harmful effects of exposure to
ionising radiation. The first five chapters explain X-ray imaging, from
conventional procedures through to computed tomography (CT). Then,
three chapters cover the imaging modalities based on gamma radiation
(RNI), ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI). For readers
whose previous science study has been limited, chapters 1 – 4 are
accompanied by commentary notes which draw out and define key
scientific terms.
