Short description

Offers information on radiographic contrast, density, detail and distortion, and ties those concepts together to present an overall picture of radiographic exposure.

Long description

Strength of the book is the writing style, with an approach that builds from the simple to the complex. PRINCIPLES OF RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING, INTERNATIONAL EDITION presents clear and concise information on radiographic contrast, density, detail and distortion, and ties those concepts together to present an overall picture of radiographic exposure. Radiographic Imaging is a required part of the Radiologic Technology curriculum, so any student who is studying to be a Radiologic Technologist, will need a book such as this to complete the curriculum.
