\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrinciples and Application of Radiological Physics 6E\u003c/i\u003e provides comprehensive and easy-to-follow coverage of the principles and application of physics for both diagnostic and therapeutic radiography students. Regardless of changes in technology and clinical grading, the most important role of the radiographer remains unchanged - ensuring the production of high quality images and optimal treatment. These should be performed with the minimum of radiation hazard to patients, staff and others. An understanding of physics and the basics of radiographic technology is essential to do this effectively. The book covers all the physics and mathematics required by undergraduate diagnostic and therapeutic radiography students, catering for those who do not have a mathematics qualification as well as for those who do. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNEW TO THIS EDITION: \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA focus upon application of physics to reflect current teaching approaches\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompletely revised structure, leading from science principles to applications\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew chapters on CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET, RNI, mammography and digital imaging \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eElectronic learning resources for students, hosted on EVOLVE\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Strong links between theory and practice throughout *Clear and concise text\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFocus on application of physics, as well as principles\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew, updated 2-colour design\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew Sections - Equipment for X-ray production, The Radiographic Image and Diagnostic Imaging Technologies\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eElectronic learning resources for students support the text\u003c/p\u003e
