Synopsis

This text has been written to satisfy the need for more practical knowledge in the imaging sciences. It is aimed at students of diagnostic imaging and trainee radiologists and is intended as a reference within an imaging department and as a manual of photographic quality assurance and fault finding. This second edition has been divided into four sections. The first section covers the advances from the imaging cameras through to laser imaging and computer networking, including image manipulation and three-dimensional imaging. Section two covers conventional image production including films, screens, chemicals and processing. Section three is concerned with quality, with the chapters on sensitometry and image quality covering the basic principles and the chapter on quality assurance and tests translating the principles into practice. The final section looks at environmental issues including pollution and the effects of the current British legislation on the subject. A mini index has been introduced at the end of each chapter.
