Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
-
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
-
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
-
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
-
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.
-
Content provides explanations for unusual words, abbreviations, acronyms, idioms, jargon in an accessible form, such as glossaries, scripted pop-ups.

Master the basic principles and techniques of radiation safety! Radiation Safety and Radiobiology in Medical Imaging, 10th Edition, makes it easy to understand both basic and complex concepts in radiation protection, radiobiology, and radiation physics. Clear, concise information is presented in a logical format with high-quality radiographs and visually striking full-color drawings, graphs, tables, and boxes. Complete coverage addresses 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 exposure to radiation, and the implementation of radiation safety practices for patients and personnel. This text is also a valuable resource to help you prepare for the ARRT certification exam and state licensing exams.
Key Features
- Timely coverage of radiation protection regulations addresses radiation awareness and education efforts across the globe
- Convenient, easy-to-use features include chapter outlines and objectives, listing and highlighting of key terms, bulleted summaries, general discussion questions, and review questions to enhance comprehension and retention
- Extensive use of illustrations and tables visually reinforces important concepts and offers quick access to key information
- Clear and concise writing style covers complex concepts in radiation protection, biology, and physics in a building-block approach from basic to more complex
New Features
- UPDATED! Expanded coverage examines radiation safety related to cone beam CT (CBCT)
- NEW! Introduction of theranostics explores this combined diagnostic and therapeutic cancer treatment related modality
- NEW! Discussion of AI addresses its fundamental principles and the increasing use of AI to assist in precise radiographic imaging
- UPDATED! Revised chapter titles and sequence put subjects in a logical order for optimal learning
- UPDATED! Content reflects the latest ARRT content specifications and ASRT curriculum guidelines
