Graham's Principles and Applications of Radiological Physics

This must-have text provides an insight into the science behind radiographic technology. Suitable for radiography and radiology students at all levels, the text uses illustrations and simple analogies to explain the fundamentals, while retaining more complex concepts for those with a more advanced knowledge of radiological physics. Updated by authors Martin Vosper, Andrew England and Victoria Major to reflect advances and key topics in medical imaging practice, this text will support radiographers in their core role of obtaining high quality images and optimal treatment outcomes.

• Strong links between theory and practice throughout, with updated clinical scenarios


• Clear and concise text featuring insight boxes and summary points


• More than 60 new diagrams


• Logically organised to match the order of delivery used in current teaching programmes


• Updated to reflect advances in medical imaging practice and changes to teaching curricula


• New information on X-ray exposure factors and their effect on the radiographic image; non-ionising radiation safety - MRI, ultrasound; mobile, portable and dental systems; multimodality imaging, registration and fusion; and the science of body tissue depiction; and PACS technology
