Now revised to reflect the new, clinically-focused certification exams,
Review of Radiological Physics, Fourth Edition, offers a complete
review for radiology residents and radiologic technologists preparing
for certification. . This new edition covers x-ray production and
interactions, projection and tomographic imaging, image quality,
radiobiology, radiation protection, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, and
magnetic resonance - all of the important physics information you need
to understand the factors that improve or degrade image quality. Each
chapter is followed by 20 questions for immediate self-assessment, and
two end-of-book practice exams, each with 100 additional questions,
offer a comprehensive review of the full range of topics.Key
