Build the foundation necessary for the practice of CT scanning with Computed Tomography: Physical Principles, Patient Care, Clinical Applications, and Quality Control, 5th Edition. Written to meet the varied requirements of radiography students and practitioners, this two-color text provides comprehensive coverage of the physical principles of computed tomography and its clinical applications. The clear, straightforward approach is designed to improve your understanding of sectional anatomic images as they relate to computed tomography and facilitate communication between CT technologists and other medical personnel.
