Written by topic experts, this new edition of Farr’s Physics for Medical Imaging is designed specifically for trainee radiologists preparing for the physics component of their FRCR exams.
The book effectively explains the principles and techniques behind the most common forms of medical imaging, including X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI, nuclear medicine, and fluoroscopy.
Trainee radiologists and radiographers will find this an easy to understand and useful adjunct to their exam preparation – even those who haven’t studied physics since school.
Key Features
- Designed for those studying for their FRCR part 1 exams – covers everything you need to know
- Easy to read and navigate, suitable for those with varying levels of physics knowledge
- Written by topic experts - physicists and a radiologist, to make the information more accessible to radiology trainees
- Clear line drawings and sample images illustrate the principles discussed

Book Reviews
Review of the previous edition:
"Not only is it an essential text for the trainee radiologist, and any physics department participating in their teaching, but it is also a useful reference book for the trainee physicist as it provides an introductory overview of diagnostic imaging." --Lauren Tedder, SCOPE, March 08
