This updated and expanded edition of radiographic imaging is the most comprehensive and practical text available. It is designed for courses in Radiographic Exposure and Imaging, from basic through advanced levels. It focuses on the control of the many variables in providing high-quality radiographic images, including exposure and patient variables, processing and quality control. It perfectly complements radiographic physics texts, picking up where they leave off and addressing the practical application of imaging principles. A unique addition to the Sixth Edition is the significantly expanded and improved coverage of automatic exposure control. This is the first book to really cover the practical application skills of AEC, including recommended detector configuration and density settings for each procedure and trouble shooting incorrect AEC exposures. The chapter on intensifying screens has been vigorously updated and revised with great care to make it the clearest, most student-friendly explanation of modern intensifying screen technology available. In addition, the abbreviations and terminology used throughout the text have been brought completely into line with the ARRT guidelines. This text has been and still is the most application-oriented book on radiographic exposure. Regular mathematical practice exercises embedded within each chapter provide the reader with drills to reinforce concepts. In addition, this is the only textbook available that provides complete "how to" information on constructing both manual and AEC technique charts, including blank charts for individual use. This book is by far the best available for schools that are focused on the practical application of radiographic technique. It perfectly bridges the gap between theory and clinical application, and its greatest strengths are its clear and concise explanations, plentiful examples, and abundant illustrations.

This eighth edition is a major revision and update of Fuch's Radiographic Exposure and Quality Control including a title change. The book is a most expansive and comprehensive text on radiographic exposure and imaging, encompassing the vast and intricate changes that have taken place in the field. As with previous editions, the book is intended to complement radiographic physics texts rather than duplicate them, and all chapters on conventional radiography have been fully revised to reflect state-of-the-art imaging technology. Part I, Producing the Radiographic Image, presents chapters on x-rays and radiographic variables, recording the permanent image, qualities of the image, and interactions of x-rays within the patient. Part II, Visibility Factors, includes chapters on milliampere-seconds, kilovoltage-peak, machine phase and rectification, beamfiltration, field size limitation, patient status and contrast agents, pathology and casts, scattered radiation and image fog, grids, intensifying screens, and image receptor systems. Part III, Geometrical factors, discusses focal spot size, the anode bevel, source-image receptor distance, object-image receptor distance, distance ratios, beam-part-film-alignment, geometric functions of positioning, and motion. Part IV, Comprehensive Technique, presents chapters on analyzing the radiographic image, simplifying and standardizing technique, technique by proportional anatomy, technique charts, exposure controls, patient dose, quality control, and solving multiple technique problems. Part V, Special Imaging Methods, includes a concise overview of computers, the nature of digital images and the fundamental processes common to all digital imaging systems. Specific applications follow, including digital conversion of film images, DR, DF, CR, and image reconstruction in CT and MRI. The methods of Three-Dimensional Imaging are then introduced with beautiful illustration. The application of lasers in digitizing images and printing hard copies is reviewed, ending with a balanced discussion of PACS and digital teleradiology. CR and DR provides thorough coverage of the image matrix, pixel size, and fields of view, gray scale enhancement and spatial resolution, followed by an excellent discussion of CRT image qualities including horizontal and vertical resolution, contrast, dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio. Exposure and reading of the photostimulable phosphor plate is nicely illustrated. Clear presentations on windowing concepts, smoothing, edge enhancement, equalization, the digital workstation and display station are given. Part VI, Processing the Radiograph, completes the text with chapters on digital processing applications, practical applications for CR, automatic processors, film handling and duplication procedures, and sensitometry and darkroom quality control. Each chapter concludes with an examination that will help the student review materials and put them into perspective. Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and identification/explanation questions are all included. This book is by far the best available for schools that are focused on the practical application of radiographic technique.

EVALUATING RADIOGRAPHS is ideally organized as the primary textbook for a course in radiographic film evaluation, and it is also designed to be used as a complementary source to a text on principles of radiographic exposure. The book presents over 300 poor quality radiographs, focusing on how each resulted and how to correct a repeated exposure. It encompasses positioning for all routine procedures as well as the technical aspects of the image. The text teaches the student to determine precisely how much and in which direction a position must be moved in order to correct it. The same type of detailed analysis is applied for technical image qualities. EVALUATING RADIOGRAPHS covers every topic listed in the ASRT Curriculum Guide for a course in radiographic film evaluation. The text is divided into three parts: General Considerations, Positioning Quality, and Technical Quality. Open-ended review exercises at the end of each section present dozens of radiographs, allowing students to practice applying the principles learned. An Appendix with over 150 multiple-choice questions, organized by chapter, is provided along with an answer key. This serves as a valuable resource for the instructor as well as a comprehensive review for the student.

Instructor Resources for Radiography in the Digital Age - 2nd Edition

The Physics and Equipment of Radiography slide series provides just the right focus and scope for courses both in Radiation Production and Characteristics and in Imaging Equipment for this digital age. The entire emphasis of foundational physics has been adjusted in order to properly support the specific information on digital imaging that will follow. The paradigm shift in imaging terminology is reflected by the careful phrasing of concepts, accurate descriptions and clear illustrations throughout the series. Foundational chapters on basic physics maintain a focus on energy physics. Obsolete and extraneous material has been eliminated, while concepts supporting digital imaging are more thoroughly discussed. For example, a more thorough discussion of graphs, atoms and electromagnetic waves is presented, but all discussion of electricity is limited to only those concepts which bear directly upon the production of x-rays in the x-ray tube. Building on this solid foundation, a full discussion of the tube itself and production and characteristics of the x-ray beam is then presented. This is followed by units covering mobile radiography, tomography, conventional fluoroscopy, digital fluoroscopy, and radiographic quality control. The slides in this series closely mirror the textbook, but for complicated topics the slides provide a much more thorough, step-by-step approach for the student, supported with abundant illustrations. An excess of text has been avoided on each slide. All slides have colorful backgrounds with large, clear print that is easy to make out at a distance.
