Physics for radiologists

This book discusses the essential physics required by modern radiology techniques at the fingertips of the practicing radiologist. It provides information on X-ray physics and the authors have avoided didacticism to make way for the new range of diagnostic imaging techniques such as digital radiology, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. Important topics addressed include fundamentals of radiation physics and radioactivity, special radiographic techniques, radiation measurement, radiobiology and radiological protection
