Essentials of Radiologic Science

This is a basic textbook for radiography students, examining the fundamentals of radiologic technology programs. The book covers three of the five categories tested on the radiography Registry exam (radiologic physics, radiologic protection & biology, and image production). "Dorothy Saia has endorsed the project as a needed book beyond the Bushong and Carlton titles. Trina Koscielicki, Associate Professor at Northern Kentucky University, will consider using text in place of Bushong title once entire manuscript could be reviewed. Joyce Snyder, Program Director at St. Anthony Hospital School of Radiologic Science, believes text is written in simpler terms compared to Bushongs' use of "verbiage" terminology. However, Snyder feels that the text is weak on informational content.
