Buch, Englisch, Format (B × H): 216 mm x 276 mm, Gewicht: 450 g

- Broad coverage of topics in radiologic science, including radiologic physics, imaging, radiobiology, and radiation protection. Special topics include mammography, fluoroscopy, spiral computed tomography, and cardiovascular interventional procedures
- Strong pedagogy, including objectives, key terms, outlines, chapter introductions and summaries helps students organize information and ensure that they understand what is most important in every chapter
- Quick reference information, including formulas, conversion tables, abbreviations, etc. provides easy access to frequently used information
- End-of-chapter questions, including definition exercises, short answer, and calculations, offer students an opportunity for review
- Key terms are bolded and defined at first mention in the text. Each bolded key term is included in an expanded glossary. This feature helps ensure students understand key terms as they are used in discussions of important concepts
- Math formulas highlighted in special color boxes
- Important "concepts boxes, highlighted by penguin icons
- Evolve ancillaries include instructor resources (image collection, test bank with more than 900 questions, and PowerPoint chapter lectures of ~300 slides) and student resources (answers to challenge questions, answers to workbook questions, math tutor answer key, image collection, student review questions, lab videos
- Updated to reflect the latest ARRT guidelines - including latest released shielding guidelines
- Student Lab Exercise’ videos on the Evolve site to help students understand complicated experiments
- Streamlined physics and math sections with a targeted focus on necessary content that ensures student technologists are prepared to take the ARRT exam and have the background they need to perform well in the clinical environment.
