Description
This book provides an overview of all aspects of radiography for the practitioner. It is written to address the areas of practice of assistant
practitioners and practitioners within the clinical environment. Areas covered range from ethics and communication, through to the physics
of radiography and x-ray production, and specialist techniques. Anatomy, physiology and pathology are also covered, ensuring the text
is a complete introduction to radiography. Each chapter covers key points and provides revision questions (with answers) and recommended
reading for exploring the chapter topic in more depth.
