Doses to tissues from computed tomography, this book says, can approach or exceed the levels known with certainty to increase the probability of cancer. Radiologists manage the dose in collaboration with imaging staff and medical physicists. Among the many practical possibilities existing to manage dose, the most important one is reduction in mA.

Beginning with the basics on how to read X-rays, this book discusses its details. It contains lists of differential diagnoses as well as several X-ray quizzes. It handbook is useful for day-to-day use by clinicians and for residents and medical students preparing for qualifying exams.

Provides an overview of the major discoveries in radiation physics, and includes a discussion of radioactivity, including sources and materials, as well as calculational methods for radiation exposure, comprehensive appendices and more than 400 figures. This book is suitable for health physicists and other radiation protection professionals.

Provides a review of each cancer including its incidence, epidemiology, etiology and histopathology, together with the clinical features. This work offers diagnostic studies and clinical and pathological staging. It also provides detailed tables with histopathological classification, diagnostic studies and, when important, prognostic factors.

Includes anatomy labeling exercises, positioning exercises, self-tests, and an answer key. This work features various types of exercises, including matching, labeling and identifying anatomy, short-answer and multiple-choice questions, crosswords, true/false, identifying structures on radiographs, and identifying proper patient positioning.

Considers the evidence relating to cancer risk associated with exposure to low doses of low-LET radiation. This report looks at the possibility of establishing a universal threshold dose below which there is no risk of radiation-related cancer.

Conveys the pathology knowledge radiographers need at the comprehension level. This book covers information including disease processes, their radiographic appearance, and their treatment.

Offers coverage of computed radiography, digital radiography, and PACS. This title explores the differences between conventional and digital imaging systems and how computed and digital radiography systems fit within the radiology department. It also helps you learn about PACS workstations, archiving, film digitization, and image printing.

Includes anatomy labeling exercises, positioning exercises, self-tests, and an answer key. This work features various types of exercises, including matching, labeling and identifying anatomy, short-answer and multiple-choice questions, crosswords, true/false, identifying structures on radiographs, and identifying proper patient positioning.

This balanced text with a straight forward, clear link between theory and practice provides in depth, comprehensive information that is appropriate for an introductory course without overwhelming the student with unessential details. It prepares students for the board and licensing examinations and at the same time gives them the practical knowledge they need with case studies, procedure boxes ..

A textbook for radiographers who are certified or nearing certification and are familiar with conventional radiography; for imaging departments, including those in small rural areas that do not have the luxury of CT, MR, , or other specialized scanners; and for all health care professionals as an introduction to specialized imaging modalities.

A textbook for medical personnel involved in the administration of radiation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

Provides all of the technical and procedural information needed to perform as a competent radiographer. Positions are presented based upon a national perspective, including both routine and alternative positions.

Optical Coherence Tomography is a medical high-resolution imaging technology. This book provides non-scientists and non-engineers basic understanding of Optical Coherence Tomography applications and issues. It covers topics such as a discussion of delivery of OCT to the patient, FDA approval, comparisons with other technologies and others.

An illustrated atlas that focuses on high-resolution industrial radiographs of the hand and wrist used in the diagnosis of pathologic conditions, which requires the detection of minute changes. It helps the reader identify the radiographic skeletal changes and relate them to specific disease entities.

Covers the different skills needed to x-ray children successfully - radiographic positioning, choice and number of views, patient communication with child and parents, achieving patient co-operation, and immobilization. This title also includes discussions on IRMER, and advice on setting up a pediatric x-ray room in a general department.
