Broad coverage of topics in radiologic science, including radiologic physics, imaging, radiobiology, and radiation protection. Special topics include mammography, fluoroscopy, spiral computed tomography, and cardiovascular interventional procedures. Strong pedagogy, including objectives, key terms, outlines, chapter introductions and summaries helps students organize information and ensure that they understand what is most important in every chapter. Quick reference information, including formulas, conversion tables, abbreviations, etc. provides easy access to frequently used information End-of-chapter questions, including definition exercises, short answer, and calculations, offer students an opportunity for review. Key terms are bolded and defined at first mention in the text. Each bolded key term is included in an expanded glossary. This feature helps ensure students understand key terms as they are used in discussions of important concepts. Math formulas highlighted in special color boxes. Important "concepts boxes," highlighted by "penguin" icons. Evolve ancillaries include instructor resources (image collection, test bank with more than 900 questions, and PowerPoint chapter lectures of ~300 slides) and student resources (answers to challenge questions, answers to workbook questions, math tutor answer key, image collection, student review questions, lab videos (new)
