Contents:
CONTENTS 1.Introduction-- 2.Radiation: types, sources, and doses received-- 3.Interaction of X-radiation with matter-- 4.Radiation quantities and units-- 5.Radiation monitoring-- 6.Overview of cell biology-- 7.Molecular and cellular radiation biology-- 8.Early tissue reactions and their effects on organ systems-- 9.Stochastic effects and late tissue reactions of radiation in organ systems-- 10.Dose limits for exposure to ionizing radiation-- 11.Equipment design for radiation protection-- 12.Management of patient radiation dose during X-ray procedures-- 13.Special considerations on safety in computed tomography-- 14.X-ray breast imaging: methods and radiation safety aspects-- 15.Management of imaging personnel radiation dose during diagnostic X-ray procedures-- 16.Radioisotopes and radiation protection.
Summary: Master the basic principles and techniques of radiation safety! Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography, 9th Edition makes it easy to understand both basic and complex concepts in radiation protection, radiobiology, and radiation physics. Concise, full-color coverage discusses the safe use of ionizing radiation in all imaging modalities, including the effects of radiation on humans at the cellular and systemic levels, regulatory and advisory limits for exposure to radiation, and the implementation of radiation safety practices for patients and personnel. From a team of authors led by radiologic technology educator Mary Alice Statkiewicz Sherer, this text also prepares you for success on the ARRT certification exam and state licensing exams
