For the past several years a small group within the Division, which now constitutes the Image Analysis Section of the Medical Physics Branch, has been developing analytical methodology for evaluating the imaging performance of medical diagnostic x-ray systems. This includes the development and evaluation of a wide variety of methods of analysis for appraising the health impact of radiation exposure. Many aspects of this performance have substantial impact on the patient radiation dose required for a given amount of diagnostic information and on the amount and quality of that information which can be obtained. As a result of our early work, and studies of the literature in this field, we concluded that an international symposium devoted exclusively to this topic was in order. This present volume represents the culmination of our efforts toward that end. Kenneth E: Weaver, M.S. and Robert F. Wagner, Ph.D. of the Image Analysis Section and Assistant Professor David J. Goodenough, Ph.D. of The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions.

Quality Technology Handbook, Fourth Edition offers a wide discussion on technology and its related subtopics. After giving some information on its background, content, and authors, the book then informs the readers about the quality problem check-list and enumerates the questions one has to ask to ensure that a problem will be solved. This part is followed by a discussion on non-destructive testing (NDT) and the several committees formed for it, among which are the British National Committee and the Harwell NDT Center. The book also includes information on two organizations that are closely related to the topic, the Institute of Quality Assurance (IQA) and The Welding Institute (TWI). A directory of international organizations related to quality assurance and non-destructive testing is provided in the latter part of the text. The book serves as valuable reference to undergraduates or postgraduates of courses that are related to science and technology.
