    • Broad coverage of radiologic science topics includes radiologic physics, imaging, radiobiology, and radiation protection, with special topics including mammography, fluoroscopy, spiral computed tomography, and cardiovascular interventional procedures.
    • Objectives, outlines, chapter introductions, and summaries organize information and emphasize the most important concepts in every chapter.
    • Formulas, conversion tables, and abbreviations provide a quick reference for frequently used information, and math equations are always followed by sample problems with direct clinical application.
    • Key terms are bolded and defined at first mention in the text, with each bolded term included in the expanded glossary.
    • Math formulas are highlighted in special shaded boxes for quick reference.
    • Penguin icons in shaded boxes represent important facts or bits of information that must be learned to understand the subject.
    • End-of-chapter questions help students review the material with definition exercises, short-answer questions, and calculations.
    • Student workbook reinforces understanding with worksheets that complement the content covered in the text. Available separately.
    • NEW! Updated content reflects the newest curriculum standards outlined by the ARRT® and ASRT.
    • NEW! All images are digital, following current radiology practice.
