Review :
"... the book presents comprehensive and up-to-date information even beyond what might be expected from the title of the book. It contains the medical physics of all imaging modalities available at a larger department of radiology." -Hans Zoetelief, Radiation Protection Dosimetry, Vol. 154, 2013 "This is the third edition of a well-established and popular textbook on physics of diagnostic radiology. It is a textbook written in a clear and concise style, supported by excellent illustrations. The textbook describes recent state-of-the-art advances in medical imaging in a way radiologists, radiographers and medical physicists will find easy to understand. It is internationally recognised as one of the key textbooks in its field." -Dr. Keith Faulkner, North East Strategic Health Authority, UK Praise for the Second Edition "One of the most useful features is the amount of review material. A series of discussion questions are given at the end of each chapter and six to fourteen multiple-choice questions per chapter are listed in an appendix, with an answer key for all questions and explanatory footnotes for some ... On the whole, I found the material to be authoritative, comprehensive, and accurate." -Doody Online Reviews "The book is well written and I recommend it not only to radiologists in training, but also to experienced radiologists and x-ray technicians who would like to update their knowledge in the physics of diagnostic radiology." -Lars Jangland
