Main description:

The new edition of this book is a complete guide to medical X-ray film processing and digital radiography.

Divided into ten chapters, the first half of the book examines fundamental concepts, X-ray production, the film, darkroom, cassette, and intensifying screens; processing, and image quality.

With the increasing use of computed radiography, and reduced use of X-ray in modern medicine, the second half of the book discusses the differences in quality, viewing and recording, quality assurance, and health and safety aspects of digital radiography.

The second edition has been fully revised with many new topics added, to present the latest advances in the field.

The comprehensive text is formatted in an easy to follow manner, accompanied by X-ray and digital images, figures and tables, providing trainees with an invaluable learning tool.
