FROM THE CRITICS

Pei-Jan Paul Lin

This is a review book where the subjects are itemized and organized similar to the corresponding radiation physics textbooks available from various publishers. Being a review book, it includes an ample number of questions and answers at the end of each chapter. The primary purpose is to assist in the preparation of either the board examination for the radiology residents or the licensure examination of radiologic technology students. Although this is designed as a stand-alone review book, the reader is expected to have finished a formal radiation physics course to take full advantage of this book. The target audience of this publication is clearly radiology residents, and it can be useful for students in radiologic technology. Graduate students in radiation physics can be included in the audience, using this review book as a summary reference. The unique feature of this book is the sample examination provided at the end of the book. It is a reinforcement of the questions and answers attached to the end of each chapter. Rather than a collection of questions and answers gathered by many generations of residents who have taken the board examinations, this review book is a reorganized and itemized edition of much-needed material for radiology residency programs. Short yet proper descriptions of various items should serve to elicit the knowledge learned in the formal classrooms.
