radiography in the digital ageWritten for students training in radiology technology (RT), and for those taking their certifying exam, this group of 4 publications is a must in any department where there is an RT school.

In crisp, well-illustrated, and well-written chapters on the history of radiography, physics, equipment, image production, computers, digital imaging computers, digital imaging processing and display, PACs, and radiation biology/protection, the author (Quinn B. Carroll) has developed an excellent book. Noteworthy and as a very important complement to this 800-page hardcover is a student workbook (300 pages of questions) and a CD containing the answers to all the questions. And lastly, a series of PowerPoint slides ready for any RT instructor or student.

As an aside, for those departments purchasing this complete set, it might be a good exercise for radiologists (and residents) to review some of the concepts and information contained in the CDs and books.
