Offering a balanced, accessible approach to the science behind radiographic technology, Graham's Principles and Applications of Radiological Physics, 8th Edition, links theoretical concepts to practical applications, ensuring students gain both understanding and confidence in diagnostic imaging. Designed for radiography and radiology students at all levels, this core textbook uses vibrant illustrations and easy-to-understand analogies to explain the fundamentals, while retaining more complex concepts for those with a more advanced knowledge of radiological physics. New and updated content, new diagrams and images, and coverage of the latest technological advancements and safety protocols ensure that students are well-prepared with the knowledge and skills required to excel in their studies and in future practice.
-
- Provides strong links between theory and practice throughout, with updated clinical scenarios and practical examples
- Reflects current medical imaging practices, such as increased use of digital and sectional imaging, and includes enhanced coverage of radiation safety, including non-ionising radiation safety in MRI and ultrasound
- Includes more than 80 new diagrams and images, along with video and slideshow narrations that make complex concepts more accessible and easier to understand
- Uses a logical organisation that mirrors the order of delivery used in current teaching programmes, along with clear and concise text , insight boxes, and summary points.
- Features multiple-choice questions for convenient self-assessment online
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text and figures, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish after the publication date
