Master the basic principles and techniques of radiation safety! Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography, 9th Edition makes it easy to understand both basic and complex concepts in radiation protection, radiobiology, and radiation physics. Concise, full-color coverage discusses 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. From a team of authors led by radiologic technology educator Mary Alice Statkiewicz Sherer, this text also prepares you for success on the ARRT certification exam and state licensing exams.

    • Product Content
      • Content includes any type of illustrations.
      • The primary content is text.
      • Content includes maps and/or other cartographic content.
      • Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) web links to external content, downloadable resources, supplementary material, etc.
      • Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) cross-references, hyperlinked notes and annotations, or with other actionable links between largely textual elements (e.g., quiz/test questions, 'choose your own ending', etc.).
      • Content includes photographs, whether in a plate section / insert or not.
      • Content includes figures, diagrams, charts and/or graphs, including other 'mechanical' (i.e. non-photographic) illustrations.
      • Content is enhanced with additional images or graphical content such as supplementary photographs that are not included in a primary or 'unenhanced' version.
      • Content includes images displayed in a specific order for the purpose of graphic storytelling or giving information (e.g. graphic novels, comics and manga). May include text integrated into the image (as speech and thought bubbles, textual 'sound' effects, captions etc.).
      • Content includes text within images, including text-as-text embedded in diagrams, charts, or within images containing speech balloons, thought bubbles, captions, etc.
      • Content includes visual content that is purely decorative and is not necessary to understanding of the content.
