The Fourth Edition of this text provides a clear understanding of the physics principles essential to getting maximum diagnostic value from the full range of current and emerging imaging technologies. Updated material added in areas such as x-ray generators (solid-state devices), xerography (liquid toner), CT scanners (fast-imaging technology) and ultrasound (color Doppler).
This book gives the reader everything necessary to understand how ionizing and non-ionizing radiation interacts with tissue and how to form images from the interactions. A must read for any radiologist.
