This new Seventh Edition is a most expansive and comprehensive text on radiographic exposure and imaging and encompasses the vast and intricate changes that have taken place in the field. As with previous editions, the book is intended to complement radiographic physics texts rather than duplicate them. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, and therefore assumes some basic knowledge of physical principles upon which the concepts of practical technique can be built. This volume also attempts to bridge the gap between quality control and technique. Part I, Producing the Radiographic Image, presents chapters on x-rays and radiographic variables, recording the permanent image, qualities of the image, and interactions of x-rays within the patient.
