      5 out of 5 stars perfect for the ARDMS general physics and instrumentation exam.......2007-01-10

      I purchased this book in preparation for taking the ARDMS general physics and instrumentation exam. At first, I reviewed all my notes and re-read my entire textbook (Kremkau). I thought I was well prepared. Then I began this book's questions. I found SO many questions that just looked at situations differently than I had thought of them and really cemented in my mind, okay, if you do this, how will it affect not only this, but this as well? I passed the exam with a 90% and some of the questions I swear were right out of this book. GET IT!!

      Was a little nervous about purchasing a book online but it came back in perfect shape and was exactly what i was looking for. Looks the same as buying it in the campus bookstore but at a savings of about 45$!

      3 out of 5 stars Good Resource.......2006-03-15

      This book has been a good resource in my program. It was originally supposed to be the testbook for our radiographic physics and equipment class but I haven't used it very much in that regard. Only about 1/4-1/3 of the book covers this topic. Overall, it is a good resource because it covers many areas within radiography.

      4 out of 5 stars Radiology Physics Workbook.......2006-02-21

      Overall, I thought this workbook to be very helpful. While not all of the information in the workbook was covered or required for the classroom, an understanding of all of the chapter material aided in increasing test scores. Be wary of the answer keys in the back; not all are correct. I found that at least one question in a set had a wrong answer listed in the key. Look up the answer in the text instead of relying on the keys; you will also gain more information this way helping to increase your test scores.

      5 out of 5 stars Hits the mark..........2006-01-13

      This book is very good in accurately and easily describing the x-ray system, fluoroscopy, radiologic physics, artifacts, and digital x-ray imaging. This book greatly helped me in school and served as an outstanding study reference for the ARRT exam. This book ranks high along with "The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Questions and Answers",Volumes 1 and 2 by Patrick Leonardi. These volumes had tons of pertinent questions/answers for ARRT prep. "Radiologic Science for Technologists: Physics, Biology and Protection" by Stewart C. Bushong will also continue to serve as a reference for years to come.

      5 out of 5 stars FIBC Educational Tool.......2001-04-17

      I found the textbook to most helpful as I prepared for my coursework and professional exams. The examples are thorough and the illustrations are creative. The supporting workbook was key to my successful completion of the course. If this is your topic, this is the book for you.

      2 out of 5 stars New edition marred by typos and awkward editing.......1998-11-01

      This new edition of the classic text is a disappointment, and it's use as a textbook is not recommended.

      For this 3d edition, the list of typographical errors compiled by colleagues and myself stands at four pages and growing. Errors can be found in the text, the chapter problems, and their solutions. Other solutions which are not clearly wrong may inexplicably differ from your own solution at the second significant digit.

      Formulae are rarely derived from first principles. One exception is the change in wavelength for a photon undergoing Compton scattering from an electron, but, even here, a crucial equation (the relativistic energy invariant) is conspicuously omitted, without which the final equation cannot be derived. The text does not even mention relativity in discussing Compton scattering. (The index does reference "Relatively effects" (sic) at pp. 4-11.)

      Equations and formulae contain, at times, an unnecessary proliferation of multiplication signs and units which obscures the underlying physical principles and the simplicity of the equations themselves. Students are better served by a clear mathematical presentation of the underlying physics, rather than being dropped into the middle of an obscure equation made even more so by the inclusion of several constants whose only purpose is to make the units work out. While any text on this subject must deal with the unavoidability of old and new units, my suggestion is to derive the formulae from first principles and deal with the units issue (which, after all, only amounts to including appropriate conversion factors) separately as examples or chapter problems.

      Finally, the multiplication sign, "x", should be reserved for arithmetic and scientific notation, not symbolic mathematical equations. See, e.g., Equations (3.10), (4.31), (10.17), (10.32), etc., as examples where the multiplication sign is unnecessary. The text also uses the multiplication sign even where numerical values are already set off by parentheses. The text's overuse of the multiplication sign gives the text a grade-schoolish flavor.

      4 out of 5 stars Useful general text on radiation protection and safety.......1998-01-02

      In over 25 years since its first edition, this classic textbook has been used to train countless professionals in the fundamentals of radiation protection and safety. This third edition of Cember's work incorporates several fundamental changes in radiation protection standards and methodologies adopted since publication of the second edition in 1983. The third edition has also been expanded to include more recent safety standards for radiofrequency and microwave exposure.

      This textbook is useful for an upper division undergraduate or first graduate course in radiological protection, health physics, or radiation safety. Each chapter is accompanied by a useful set of problems and suggested readings. Unfortunately, many of the readings and references cited are either out of print or difficult to find.

The subject is approached just as a new practitioner typically encounters MRI: from images, equipment, and scanning protocols, rather than pages of dry physics theory. The reader is brought immediately face-to-face with issues pertinent to practice; filling in the theoretical background as their experience of scanning grows. Key ideas are introduced in an intuitive manner that is faithful to the underlying physics but avoids the need for difficult or distracting mathematics. Additional explanations for the more technically inquisitive are given in optional secondary text boxes.

      5 out of 5 stars Picture to Proton, The Right Way Round.......2003-08-18

      Anyone who has tried to teach MR to non-physicists is used to two dilemas.
      How do you keep a student interested while you lay the "necessary groundwork" to explain MRI ?
      How do you give craft an intuitive explanation without oversimplifications that can be hard to explain away later?
      These authors find a way. They present MR in the way we experience it, starting with the questions everyone faces first about images, contrast resolutionm, and using those questions to guide a path to the mechanisms of image production, signal generation and manipulation.
      The easy flowing style underlines the skill and credibility of the authors, while side boxes offer historical perspectives and deeper treatment of key topics.
      IMHO, This the perfect first text, and a great desk reference for all MR users.

      I easily passed my ultrasound physics board using only this CD-ROM. I highly recommend this tool to anyone who is going to take their physics board.

      4 out of 5 stars ABSOUTELY FANTASTIC .......2007-03-06

      I purchased this CD-ROM to use as a study guide for the ARDMS Vascular Physics Exam. I found it to be a great investment. The content is formatted in accordance with the outline for the ARDMS exam. The physic's concepts are clearly illustated in an easy to understand animation along with a simple narrative explaination. I would recommend this CD-ROM to anyone who is taking any of the ARDMS physic's examinations along with additional study guide reference's. There were some content's on the exam that were not reviewed on this CD-ROM(a more in depth review of vascular testing-eg Segmental Pressure's,PVR,PPG). By the way......I PASSED.

      2 out of 5 stars Don't buy it.......2007-01-31


      I had to buy this book for a class. I was very disappointed.

      This edition has several typos and mistakes on the tables. The examples and problems sections are really irritating, sometimes they show a couple of equations and write 5 problems over the same equation over and over again, and I have found instances where the "answers to selected problems" section show incorrect information. There is very little physics that you can learn from those problems.

      It seems that it is hard to find good books on Medical Imaging, but I highly recommend "The essential physics of medical imaging" (Bushberg. et al.) This is a very good review of the imaging techniques but it is not very quantitative. A more quantitative book I would recommend is "Medical Imaging: signals and systems" by Jerry L. Price.

      If you have an option, don't waste your money on this book.

      5 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Book.......2004-04-16

      "...fulfills the authors goal of providing an up-to-date survey of the physics of medical imaging in a format that will appeal to students and educators alike. The coverage of topics is sufficiently comprehensive, making it a suitable introductory text for a number of imaging-oriented courses." (Radiology, January 2004)

      5 out of 5 stars "An Excellent Introduction".......2003-04-22

      "...an excellent introduction to the physics of medical imaging...Medical Imaging Physics is sure to be a favorite of residents, perhaps supplanting Christensen's Introduction to the Physics of Diagnostic Radiology as the classic radiology residency physics text." (American Journal of Roentgenology, Vol. 180, No. 4, April 2003)

      4 out of 5 stars Review of Medical Imaging Physics.......2003-04-12

      This text is excellent for Medical Physicists preparing for the first part of their ABR or ABMP exam. This book is also a very good text for teaching Radiology Residents. Radiology Residents currently (4/12/03), do not use calculators for their ABR exam therefore they do not need to know most of the calculations that are presented in this text. The chapter on Radiation Detectors is an excellent primer for medical physicists, health physicists and Biomedical engineers. My only criticism of the text is that the QA recommendations are not current and the MRI section does not address image quality enough detail.
