This book is intended for all those working in digital radiography and CT environments including radiological technologists, and radiographers, radiologists, biomedical engineering technologists, and student medical physicists.
It is bestused as a supplement to radiologic science textbooks, and in particular, radiation protection textbooks. Furthermore, this book lays the foundations for students and practitioners engaged in research on dose reduction and dose optimization in radiology.
· Provides practical and useful methods for optimization of doses from digital radiography and CT
· Describes the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) principle of optimization
· Outlines the factors affecting the dose in digital radiography and in computed tomography
