Description: "The purpose of RADIOLOGIC SCIENCE FOR TECHNOLOGISTS; PHYSICS, BIOLOGY, AND PROTECTION is threefold: to convey a working knowledge of radiologic physics, to prepare radiography students for the certification examination by the ARRT, and to provide a base of knowledge from which practicing radiographers can make informed decisions about technical factors, diagnostic image quality, and radiation management for both patients and personnel." (Preface page ix).
Notes: On cover: Physics, biology, and protection.
