Description:

This text provides thorough, practical coverage of fundamental principles of imaging, designed to ensure that readers grasp the information they need to produce high-quality images in the clinical setting. Features such as Practical Tips, Important Relationships, and Mathematical Solutions are presented throughout the text as appropriate and listed in the appendixes for quick reference. Additional features that set the book apart include more coverage of computed radiography and film processing, and unique film critique sections in relevant chapters. Radiographic Imaging and Exposure, 2nd Edition provides a superior presentation of imaging and exposure. Instructor resources are available;… please contact your Elsevier sales representative for details. Practical emphasis on key information needed in radiography practice makes theoretical information easy to understand and apply. Appendixes of Practical Tips, Important Relationships, and Mathematical Applications compile these features found throughout the text and organize them by chapter with page references for quick reference and study. Digital radiography coverage is integrated throughout the text, in addition to a separate chapter devoted to digital imaging (Chapter 12) that demonstrates how to acquire, process, and display digital images. Extensive coverage of film processing ensures that readers gain the knowledge and problem-solving skills they need. The chapter on Radiographic Image Formation (Chapter 3) includes new coverage of basic fluoroscopy. The chapter on radiographic image quality has been divided into two chapters: Photographic Properties of Image Quality (Chapter 3) and Geometric Properties of Image Quality (Chapter 4). The chapter on Image Receptors (Chapter 6) includes new digital information. More on quality control procedures and brief section on digital image processing have been added to the chapter on Radiographic Processing (Chapter 8). A new section of digital radiography and AEC is included in the chapter on Automatic Exposure Control (Chapter 11). A revised chapter on Digital Radiography (Chapter 12) includes the latest information on newer technologies such as direct capture imaging and more on digital image management. Practical Tips help readers understand how to apply concepts in their clinical practice. Important Relationships emphasize the important, fundamental relationships between concepts being discussed, calling attention to the fundamentals of radiographic imaging and exposure. Mathematical Applications familiarize students with mathematical formulas and show how mathematical concepts and formulas are applied in the clinical setting. Unique Film Critique Interpretations collected in an appendix include radiographic films and sets of questions that teach how to evaluate the quality of radiographic film and how to determine which factors produced a poor image.
