This is the second edition of a well-received book that enriches the
understanding of radiographers and radiologic technologists across the
globe, and is designed to meet the needs of courses (units) on
radiographic imaging equipment, procedures, production, and exposure.
The book also serves as a supplement for courses that address digital
imaging techniques, such as radiologic physics, radiographic equipment
and quality control.
In a broader sense, the purpose of the book is to meet readers' needs in
connection with the change from film-based imaging to film-less or
digital imaging; today, all radiographic imaging worldwide is based on
digital imaging technologies.
The book covers a wide range of topics to address the needs of members
of various professional radiologic technology associations, such as the
American Society of Radiologic Technologists, the Canadian Association
of Medical Radiation Technologists, the College of Radiographers in the
UK, and the Australian and New Zealand Societies for Radiographers.
