Biography
Philip Palin Dendy, Brian Heaton
"… the book presents comprehensive and up-to-date information even beyond what might be expected from the title of the book. It contains the medical physics of all imaging modalities available at a larger department of radiology."
—Hans Zoetelief, Radiation Protection Dosimetry, Vol. 154, 2013"This is the third edition of a well-established and popular textbook on physics of diagnostic radiology. It is a textbook written in a clear and concise style, supported by excellent illustrations. The textbook describes recent state-of-the-art advances in medical imaging in a way radiologists, radiographers and medical physicists will find easy to understand. It is internationally recognised as one of the key textbooks in its field."
—Dr. Keith Faulkner, North East Strategic Health Authority, UKPraise for the Second Edition
"One of the most useful features is the amount of review material. A series of discussion questions are given at the end of each chapter and six to fourteen multiple-choice questions per chapter are listed in an appendix, with an answer key for all questions and explanatory footnotes for some … On the whole, I found the material to be authoritative, comprehensive, and accurate."
—Doody Online Reviews
"The book is well written and I recommend it not only to radiologists in training, but also to experienced radiologists and x-ray technicians who would like to update their knowledge in the physics of diagnostic radiology."
—Lars Jangland
