Radiation Exposure and Image Quality in X-Ray Diagnostic Radiology Physical Principles and Clinical Applications /

Diagnostic X-rays are the largest contributor to radiation exposure to the general population, and protecting the patient from radiation damage is a major aim of modern health policy. Once the decision has been taken to use ionising radiation for imaging in a particular patient, it is necessary to o...
