Master the basic principles and techniques of radiation safety! Radiation Safety and Radiobiology in Medical Imaging, 10th Edition, makes it easy to understand both basic and complex concepts in radiation protection, radiobiology, and radiation physics. Clear, concise information is presented in a logical format with high-quality radiographs and visually striking full-color drawings, graphs, tables, and boxes. Complete coverage addresses the safe use of ionizing radiation in all imaging modalities, including the effects of radiation on humans at the cellular and systemic levels, regulatory and advisory limits for exposure to radiation, and the implementation of radiation safety practices for patients and personnel. This text is also a valuable resource to help you prepare for the ARRT certification exam and state licensing exams.
