From the reviews:
"This textbook deals with the central concern of professionals working in diagnostic imaging. … it treats the material in greater depth than is usual in standard radiological physics textbooks. … The strength of the work resides in its structured treatment of topics that are pivotal in diagnostic imaging and also CT. … I would recommend it as an invaluable reference work for scientists working in diagnostic imaging. It should be of particular value to those involved in the training of staff in the field." (Dr M Casey, RAD Magazine, May, 2004)
"The book derives from a wide range of knowledge, scientific data, and extensive practical experience accumulated over the years. … This book, which is a clear and comprehensive scientific overview, provides a reference for physicists, engineers, and other experts working on problems of image quality, patient dose estimation, and the establishment of diagnostic reference levels. Its launch at this time is well chosen, as European experts are much concerned with the demands of CEC 97/43 publication (MED)." (O. Glomset, Acta Radiologica, 2004)
