Develop the skills you need to produce diagnostic-quality medical images! Bushong’s Radiologic Science for Technologists, 13th Edition, provides a solid foundation in the concepts of medical imaging and digital radiography. Featuring hundreds of radiographs and illustrations, this comprehensive text helps you learn how to make informed decisions regarding technical factors, image quality, and radiation safety for both patients and providers. With updates reflecting the latest ARRT® guidelines, including shielding practices and streamlined physics and math sections focused on key concepts, this edition equips you with the knowledge needed to succeed on the certification exam and excel in clinical settings.
NEW! Chapters on artificial intelligence and quantum computing help you stay abreast of key technological changes.
NEW!Streamlined physics and math sections focus on the content you need to know to prepare for the ARRT exam, while also providing the background you need to perform well in the clinical environment
UPDATED! Content reflects the latest ARRT guidelines, including the latest released shielding guidelines
Broad coverage of radiologic science topics includes radiologic physics, imaging, radiobiology, and radiation protection. Special topics include mammography, fluoroscopy, spiral computed tomography, and cardiovascular interventional procedures
Strong pedagogy, including objectives, key terms, outlines, chapter introductions, and summaries, helps you organize information and ensure that you understand what is most important in every chapter
Quick-reference information, including formulas, conversion tables, abbreviations, and more, provides easy access to frequently used information
End-of-chapter questions, such as definition exercises, short answer, and calculations, offer valuable review opportunities
Key terms are bolded and defined at first mention in the text and are included in an expanded glossary to ensure you understand key terms as they are used in discussions of important concepts
Math formulas are highlighted in special color boxes for quick reference
Important concepts boxes are denoted with a penguin icon
