Prepare for success on the ARRT exam and in clinical practice! Essentials of Radiographic Physics and Imaging, 4th Edition, follows the ASRT recommended curriculum and focuses on what you need to understand to safely and competently produce high-quality radiographic images. This comprehensive text gives you a foundational understanding of basic physics principles such as atomic structure, electricity and magnetism, and electromagnetic radiation. It then covers imaging principles, radiation production and characteristics, digital image quality, imaging equipment, digital image acquisition and display, image analysis, and more, linking physics to the daily practice of radiographers. New to this edition is updated information on radiation classifications, a shift in focus to SI units, and coverage of the latest advances in digital imaging.
