Radiation Safety and Radiobiology In Medical Imaging

Radiation Safety and Radiobiology in Medical Imaging provides vital information on radiation safety and radiobiology in a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand manner. The material is presented in a well-structured and logical format and is enhanced by high-quality radiographs and visually striking 4-color drawings, graphs, tables, and boxes. Information is presented in a style that builds from basic to more complex concepts. Text, illustrations, tables, boxes, and graphs, will be updated or added to reflect the latest government standards of radiation safety. The 10th edition will again offer the imaging technology student and professional the essential information on the biological effects of ionizing radiation and radiation protection to ensure the safe medical use of ionizing radiation. It will also present radiation physics, cell structure, effects of radiation on humans at the cellular and systemic levels, regulatory and advisory limits for human exposure to radiation, and the implementation of patient and personnel radiation protection practices. Each chapter will be well-structured, up-to-date, easy-to-read, and loaded with pedagogy, including key terms, learning objectives, chapter summary, and assessment questions.
