Editorial Review:
The Fourth Edition of this text provides a clear understanding of the physics principles essential to getting maximum diagnostic value from the full range of current and emerging imaging technologies. Updated material added in areas such as x-ray generators (solid-state devices), xerography (liquid toner), CT scanners (fast-imaging technology) and ultrasound (color Doppler).

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Diagnostic Medical Physicist
This 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 I
This 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 course
This 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 physician
This 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.
Rating: - A fairly good overview...
... of the basic principles of x-ray imaging production and generation of x-rays. The book is feasible as a quick reference for fundamental descriptions of x-ray principles and basic technological theory of the operation of x-ray equipment. The book is probably best suited for doctors or nurses. Enginners working with x-ray equipment will find some parts quite basic. Some parts are also starting to feel a little old (the chapter of Xeroradiography for example).
