Contents:
Introduction to radiation protection Radiation : types, sources, and doses received Interaction of x-radiation with matter Radiation quantities and units Radiation monitoring Overview of cell biology Molecular and cellular radiation biology Early tissue reactions and their effects on organ systems Stochastic effects and late tissue reactions of radiation in organ systems Dose limits for exposure to ionizing radiation Equipment design for radiation protection Management of patient radiation dose during diagnostic x-ray procedures Radiation safety in computed tomography and mammography Management of imaging personnel radiation dose during x-ray procedures Radioisotopes and radiation protection.
Summary: A full-color resource, Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography, 7th Edition makes it easy to understand both basic and complex concepts in radiation protection, biology, and physics. Concise coverage promotes the safe use of ionizing radiation in all imaging modalities, including the effects of radiation on humans at the cellular and systemic levels, regulatory and advisory limits for human exposure to radiation, and the implementation of radiation safety practices for patients and personnel. This edition includes NEW content on the impact of radiation levels during the nuclear power plan
