Christensen’s Physics Of Diagnostic Radiology 4Th Edition By Thomas S. Curry Iii Book Cover

By Thomas S. Curry III, James E. Dowdey and Robert E. Murry Jr.

Christensen’s Physics of Diagnostic Radiology 4th Edition explains the physics principles essential for obtaining maximum diagnostic value from modern imaging technologies. The book provides updated coverage of x-ray generators (solid-state devices), xerography (liquid toner), CT scanners (fast-imaging technology), and ultrasound including color Doppler.

The Christensen’s Physics of Diagnostic Radiology 4th Edition PDF edition presents core radiation physics concepts and their direct clinical application in diagnostic radiology.

What the book covers

Basic radiation physics: X-ray production, interactions with matter, attenuation, scatter
Image formation: Contrast, resolution, noise, and artifacts
Imaging modalities:
