Digital Radiography in Practice

This book is intended to provide medical radiography programs with an  economical textbook that focuses on the practical aspects of digital  radiography. In this new second edition by esteemed author Quinn B.  Carroll and with content developed in close collaboration with the  medical physics community and several reviewers, this is the most  accurate information on digital imaging available. Terminology has been  updated throughout the textbook to conform with the most recent  revisions of the ASRT Radiography Curriculum Guide and the ARRT  Radiography Content Specifications. Several new illustrations and  helpful tables have been developed to clarify digital concepts. A new  table, Operator Adjustments to Digital Image Qualities and Their Primary  Controls, beautifully summarizes the effects of leveling, windowing,  equalization, edge enhancement, smoothing and noise reduction, while  related text reduces dozens of different manufacturers' terms to these  basic operations in the table. Material on medical digital fluoroscopy  and imaging informatics has been updated, with a continued emphasis on  practical application and clinically useful information. Extensive  support materials, including slides correlated to a student workbook,  labs, comprehensive question banks and answer keys, have all been  updated and improved.
