It is not polite to glow in the dark.

The “Rad Tech's Guide to Radiation Protection” may look a tan thin for the price. However, it is packed with information that will illuminate the extensive field of radiation protection.

The ten chapters are:
1) Nature and Scope of Radiation Protection
2) Diagnostic X-Rays: Essential Physical Factors
3) Radiation Quarantines and Units
4) Basic Radiology
5) Current Standards for Radiation Protection
6) Dose Factors in Digital Radiology
7) Dose Factors in Fluoroscopy
8) Factors Affecting Dose in Computed Tomography
9) Dose Management Regulations and Optimization
10) Pregnancy: Essential Radiation Protection Considerations


There is a good reference section for further reading.

The index is extensive; it has almost 10 pages for a book of 138 pages.
