X-Ray Vision The Evolution of Medical Imaging and Its Human Significance

While not all aspects of x-rays and imaging are covered, which would be impossible in a single book, the diversity and selection of examples explored are well chosen and balanced... The author draws on his perspective as a radiologist, medical educator, and humanist to bring together a wide collection of different information and statistics, linking the impact of modern imaging with historic comparisons... Complex issues are well described, using a mixture of simple principles and technical physics, making them easy to understand, even for the non-expert.
