Since its first edition in 1980, Essential Physics for Radiographers has
earned an international reputation as a clear and straightforward
introduction to the physics of radiography. Now in its fourth edition,
this book remains a core textbook for student radiographers.
The authors have retained the pragmatic approach of earlier editions and
continue to target the book particularly at those students who find
physics a difficult subject to grasp. The fourth edition builds on the
major revisions introduced in the third edition. The content has been
updated to reflect recent advances in imaging technology. The chapter on
Radiation Safety has been completely rewritten in the light of the
latest changes in relevant legislation, and a re-examination of the
physical principles underpinning magnetic resonance imaging forms the
basis of a new chapter. Worked examples and calculations again feature
strongly, and the innovative and popular Maths Help File, guides readers
gently through the mathematical steps and concepts involved. The
reference citations have been updated and now include Internet sources.
