Description:
Fascinated by X-rays and medical imaging technology? Drawn to work that helps
others? PRINCIPLES OF RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING: AN ART AND A SCIENCE, 6th
Edition reveals the inner workings of radiography careers, including radiologist
assistants, radiologic technologists, ultrasound techs, CT and MRI techs, and other
imaging roles in health care. Some books dump too much on you too fast, but this
one moves at your pace, delivering the math and physics behind radiology before
advancing to complex subjects. And it's designed around actual job skills like
creating the beam, running scans and tests, and analyzing images--so you can
pass accreditation exams and work in emergency rooms and hospitals. Reader-
friendly yet packed with information, this text offers all you need to know about
digital radiography systems, digital exposure factors, instrumentation and so
much more!
About the Author:
Richard Carlton is an Associate Professor and former Director of Radiologic and
Imaging Sciences at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Previously, he taught Radiography at Arkansas State University, City College of
San Francisco and Lima Technical College, and worked as a Clinical Coordinator at
Wilbur Wright Community College. A Charter Fellow and past president of
A.E.I.R.S., Mr. Carlton gives presentations around the world and founded Lambda
Nu, the national honor society for radiologic and imaging sciences. He has written
36 books, started two professional journals and served as a J.R.C.E.R.T. site visitor
for forty years. Mr. Carlton earned an M.S. from National Louis University, a B.S.
from The Chicago Medical School and an A.A.S. from Illinois Central College. He is
A.R.R.T. certified in C.V. and radiography and continues to train residents at West
Michigan Regional Laboratory in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Arlene Adler served four decades as a Professor in the Radiologic Sciences

Programs at Indiana University Northwest. Now Professor Emerita, Ms. Adler
authored several articles and textbooks on the radiologic sciences during her
career. A member of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists and Fellow
of the Association of Educators in Radiologic Sciences (A.E.I.R.S.), she earned her
B.S. in Radiologic Sciences from the University of Health Sciences/Chicago Medical
School and an M.S. in Education from the University of Illinois.

Vesna Balac is Clinical Assistant Professor and Director of the Radiologic Sciences
Programs at Indiana University Northwest. Currently a doctoral candidate in
Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana,
she is a member of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, the
Association of Educators in Radiologic Sciences (A.E.I.R.S.) and Indiana Society of
Radiologic Technologists. Ms. Balac earned her B.S. in Radiologic Sciences from
Indiana University Northwest and an M.S. in Adult Education from Indiana
University, Bloomington.
