Description
With an integrated presentation of digital radiography and conventional film-screen radiography, RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING AND EXPOSURE, 3rd Edition provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamental principles of imaging you need to know to produce the highest-quality images and reduce the number of repeated radiographs. This practical text also includes Patient Protection Alerts, Practical Tips, Important Relationships, and Mathematical Solutions features throughout to provide helpful information every step of the way.
Key Features
An emphasis on practical information focuses on imaging and exposure topics essential to becoming a competent radiographer.
UNIQUE! Integrated digital radiography coverage and a separate digital chapter include information on how to acquire, process, and display digital images.
UNIQUE! Practical Tips boxes demonstrate how to apply concepts and use information in clinical practice.
UNIQUE! Important Relationships boxes call attention to the fundamentals of radiographic imaging and exposure.
UNIQUE! Mathematical Applications boxes familiarize you with the mathematical formulas needed in the clinical setting.
UNIQUE! Sections on Film Critique and interpretations in the appendices teach you how to evaluate the quality of radiographic images and determine which factors contributed to poor images.
New to this Edition
Expanded information and useful tables on quality control tests help you ensure that you get the best image possible every time.
Patient Protection Alerts discuss how certain variables can impact patient exposure with tips on how to control them.
