This comprehensive resource for radiology residents and imaging professionals covers fundamental physics, imaging modalities, radiobiology, and radiation protection, aligned with international guidelines. This new edition features a reorganized structure that seamlessly integrates fundamental physics and mathematics with clinical applications. Basic physics and computer science principles connect directly to modern imaging practice, integrating radioactivity with nuclear medicine and digital detectors with radiography and fluoroscopy. Heavily illustrated with high quality photographs, this essential guide for clinicians bridges theoretical knowledge with practical diagnostic expertise.Key Features:Updates on advances in digital imaging reflecting the complete transition from film and video to the use of digital detectors and image presentation since that last edition.Coverage of newer developments in nuclear medicine including SPECT, PET, and PET/CT.Modern approaches to CT dosimetry, dual energy CT and relevant clinical applications.Updates to ultrasound material include more emphasis on artifacts and illustrations of the use of color coding of images.Enhanced discussion of advances in MRI pulse sequency strategies in this rapidly changing field.

Master the basic principles and techniques of radiation safety! Radiation Safety and Radiobiology in Medical Imaging, 10th Edition, makes it easy to understand both basic and complex concepts in radiation protection, radiobiology, and radiation physics. Clear, concise information is presented in a logical format with high-quality radiographs and visually striking full-color drawings, graphs, tables, and boxes. Complete coverage addresses the safe use of ionizing radiation in all imaging modalities, including the effects of radiation on humans at the cellular and systemic levels, regulatory and advisory limits for exposure to radiation, and the implementation of radiation safety practices for patients and personnel. This text is also a valuable resource to help you prepare for the ARRT certification exam and state licensing exams.

Corresponding to the chapters in Radiation Safety and Radiobiology in Medical Imaging, 10th Edition, this workbook provides a clear, comprehensive review of all the material included in the text. Study tools help enhance your understanding of radiation physics and radiation protection, and practical exercises help you apply your knowledge to the practice setting. With exercises that reflect the latest ARRT content specifications and ASRT curriculum guidelines, this comprehensive workbook also helps you prepare for ARRT exam success.

The techniques and instrumentation of medical imaging have rapidly evolved over the course of the past few years. Medical Imaging Physics, the premier resource in its field, now in its fourth edition, has been revised to include novel and emerging imaging approaches in the same clear and understandable but thorough manner of the former editions. William Hendee and Russell Ritenour's comprehensive text provides the tools necessary to be comfortable with the physical principles, technology concepts, equipment, and procedures used in diagnostic imaging, as well as to appreciate the technological capabilities and limitations of the discipline. Readers need not possess a background in physics. Broadly accessible, Medical Imaging Physics covers all aspects of image formation in modern medical imaging modalities, such as radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), nuclear imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging. Other topics covered include: Digital x-ray imaging; Doppler ultrasound; Helical CT scanning Accumulation and analysis of nuclear data; Experimental radiobiology; Radiation protection and safety.Each chapter is composed of summaries, questions, and problems, as well as sidebars highlighting historical aspects and key facts and concepts; additionally, the Fourth Edition contains over 200 completely new figures. Physicians and residents in radiology and nuclear medicine, in addition to physicists, engineers, radiobiologists, and technologists working with diagnostic imaging technology, will find Medical Imaging Physics to be a vital addition to their professional libraries.
