  • Digital Radiography: An all-new unit on digital radiography systems guides readers through the latest technology and approaches, eliminating the need for separate resources on the subject.
  • Film Imaging: Limited yet essential content on film and screen imaging addresses these topics for those working in small clinical settings or overseas services, where this older technology may still be in use.
  • Molecular Imaging: New content on this leading-edge practice reveals how radiography professionals use nuclear medicine to see how the body functions at the cellular level.
  • NEW MindTap: Interactive learning resources from MindTap coordinate with book chapters and give readers ways to learn on the go, from apps and an eBook that can read aloud to helpful flashcards and self-quizzing tools.
  • Unmatched Expertise: Known for their work in radiologic sciences, the authors share fascinating experiences from decades of teaching, leadership and clinical work in radiography, adding a professional perspective to every concept.
  • Logical Approach: Written with busy students in mind, the text uses friendly tone and covers the basics before moving on to more challenging topics.
  • Accreditation Prep: The 6th edition fully addresses radiographic physics and instrumentation for accreditation programs, including radiography, radiologist assistant, ultrasound, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, bone densitometry, cardiac interventional and others.
