important text:
The Electromagnetic Spectrum and the entire chapter on radiation concepts was excellent to learn from. My favorite chapter was on the x-ray tube. The chapter on grids was very helpful and I'm glad I knew this for the American Registry Examination. Was this book hard to learn from? Not at all. Was it highly informative? Definitely. It is worth the money. I recommend using this text also with ^The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography:Key Review Questions and Answers... more info
Worst Textbook:
Of all the books I had to purchase while studying to be a Radiologic Technologist this was the poorest, by far. It is poorly written , does not follow through on its chapter objectives and is a real challenge to read.
carlton and adler radiographic imaging:
This book does have good content but for those of you who are in your first semesters of Radiology technology it clearly does not simplify the information. It does not produce good examples or diagrams to make learning easy. It is also very cut and dry and makes it very difficult to read. It has no glossary and is poor in producing definitions. I highly recommend Bushong not only is the book fun to read but makes some of the more complex principles easier to understand. The workbook is really great also to... more info
Great first book:
I find this one a "better" overall textbook than Christensen and Bushong. More inspiring, cosier and fairly well written. Downside : I personally found myself wanting some radiation physics tables that I had to find elsewhere ("Medical Imaging Physics"), and think the authors left out many interesting aspects physics wise, but your average student might find this works out just fine. Almost perfect starter.
