Description
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.
Timely coverage of radiation protection regulations addresses radiation awareness and education efforts across the globe
Convenient, easy-to-use features include chapter outlines and objectives, listing and highlighting of key terms, bulleted summaries, general discussion questions, and review questions to enhance comprehension and retention
Extensive use of illustrations and tables visually reinforces important concepts and offers quick access to key information
Clear and concise writing style covers complex concepts in radiation protection, biology, and physics in a building-block approach from basic to more complex
UPDATED! Expanded coverage examines radiation safety related to cone beam CT (CBCT)
NEW! Introduction of theranostics explores this combined diagnostic and therapeutic cancer treatment related modality
NEW! Discussion of AI addresses its fundamental principles and the increasing use of AI to assist in precise radiographic imaging
UPDATED! Revised chapter titles and sequence put subjects in a logical order for optimal learning
UPDATED! Content reflects the latest ARRT content specifications and ASRT curriculum guidelines
