Editorial Review: Product Description: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Textbook for radiology residents and technologists. DNLM: 1. Physics. 2. Radiography. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent Introduction to Radiology PhysicsWhen I started my residency in medical physics, I knew very little about diagnostic radiology. My background was in particle physics, so radiation and detectors were familiar concepts but in a different context. The specifics of CT, MRI, and imaging in general were foreign to me. Christensen's book on the PHYSICS OF DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY is, for me, a great primer on how the medical community extracts information from radiological imaging. The text exhaustively covers all the aspects ... Read More Rating: - Diagnostic Medical PhysicistThis book has everything. It is so easy to read that you wonder if it's accurate. I used this to study for my ABMP boards and passed the first time. This book is to Diagnostic Physics as Khan's book is to Therapy Physics. Every diagnostic imaging person needs a copy of this book whether you are a physicist or not. Rating: - Best for FRCR part IThis is one of the greatest books I have ever read in my life . Reading it was a such a pleasure and amusement ! authors are witty and very close to me ,they don;t leave u untill u udnerstand everything .. I never thought I could understand physics this fast and simple .. this book is time honored and invaluable . I totally recommend it for those sitting FRCR part I I studied it and passed FRCR from first attempt .. I really didn't have to add a review ... Read More Rating: - Excellent text for radiology resident physics courseThis is one of the better textbooks i've encountered for teaching physics to radiology residents. Other books such as Bushberg are good, but it doesn't quite go into the same detail on some subjects like Christensen does. A new edition updating topics such as MRI, digital imaging and removing some of the chapters like xeroradiography would be nice. I'd also like to see a chapter or two on nuclear medicine imaging, but that might make the book a little too big. Rating: - An excellent textbook for the diagnostic radiology physicianThis most popular textbook for radiologist physics training courses (73% of market in 1989 AAPM survey) is excellent for the non-scientist who desires both technical and practical information. Needs to add sections on digital radiography, pulsed fluoroscopy, and CCD cameras, while reducing coverage of some fading technologies. This is one of the better textbooks I have used for any course.
