Description
Book SynopsisThis book provides a concise overview of the field of radiology physics and its application in everyday practice.
Beginning with an introduction to the fundamental concepts and the basics of radiation, the following sections review different techniques, from X-Ray production and ultrasound, to Doppler, mammography, computed tomography, and nuclear medicine procedures.
Further topics include complex magnetic resonance concepts, radiation exposure monitoring, single-photon emission computed tomography, and positron emission tomography.
Enhanced by radiological images and illustrations, each chapter explains the principles, function, application and limitations of the radiological technique in question.
