Reviews

`This book covers all aspects of radiographic equipment very accurately, simply and concisely.
... this book would make an excellent student text ... It clearly describes with the aid of numerous simple diagrams, the fundamentals of all diagnostic equipment. It is an excellent book that will provide the basic general knowledge of equipment that every radiographer should have.'
The Radiographer, Vol. 33(3), 1986.

`This is a `user friendly' book, which is good value for money and serious consideration should be given for its inclusion on a student booklist.'
Radiography, Vol. 52, No. 604.
