To meet the demands of practicing radiologic technologists, andstudents in training, Blackwell introduces the first volume ofthe Rad Tech's Guide Series. Rad Tech's Guide toRadiation Protection gets to the heart of what the moderntechnologist does by providing all of the information needed tounderstand basic radiobiology, the sources of radiation exposure,factors affecting dose to patients and personnel, and themost up-to-date dose management techniques.
This on the sport reference is:
* * Both a concise review for board preparation exams, as wellas a handy reference guide for the busy rad tech.
* A guide to the most current standards for radiation protectionwith references to major relevant organizations and keyreports.
* Pocket size -- take it anywhere!
