1st Edition
by Jonathon Nye (Author)
High-yield, image-rich study guide presents complex physics concepts in reader-friendly format
Physics
is a key component of the American Board of Radiology core and
certifying exams, therefore it is an essential area of study for
radiology residents and young radiologists prepping for these exams.
Radiology residents gather their medical physics knowledge from many
sources, often beginning with their first encounter of a radiologic
image. As such, Radiologic Physics Taught Through Cases by
Jonathon A. Nye and esteemed contributors incorporates an image-rich,
case-based layout conducive to learning challenging physics concepts.
The
book encompasses physical diagnostic radiology scenarios commonly
encountered during residency in a format that fosters learning and is
perfect for board preparation. Seven technology-specific chapters cover
fluoroscopy, mammography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance
imaging, nuclear medicine, ultrasound imaging, and image processing.
Each chapter features 10 succinct case-based topics intended to quickly
convey information.
Key Highlights
- Every
chapter starts with a general introduction, followed by case
background, images, findings, and a brief explanation of the physical
factors underlying the image's creation and displayed contrast
- Schematics
detail important radiation safety topics, such as potential
occupational or patient hazards related to fluoroscopic-guided
procedures
- End-of-chapter references provide inspiration for further study
- Review questions with correct answers at the end of each chapter reinforce key concepts
This
is a must-have resource for residents prepping for the radiology core
exam review and early-career radiologists looking for a robust study
guide for radiology certification exam review.
