This book gives the reader everything necessary to understand how ionizing and non-ionizing radiation interacts with tissue and how to form images from the interactions. A must read for any radiologist.

Although i did not fully finished the book, which i only read about 80% of the content. I believe it is by far the easiest to understand Physics Radiology books with sufficient details.

However, it is a considerably an old book, so some of the content are pretty outdated and it is based on America, so some of the units are not exactly what most places using.

Overall, only recommended if time is on your side for additional understanding of Radiology Physics
