Knowledge of scientific principles is also mandated as a result of a need to understand best and safest practice, especially in the use of ionising radiation where legislation, guidance and risk all form part of a medical specialists' pressures at work. It is no surprise therefore that radiologists are obliged to study and pass physics exams. Such exams can present a considerable challenge and the authors of this work recognise and sympathise with that challenge and have created a volume which that is intended to be an educational resource and not just a pre-exam 'crammer.' Both authors have considerable experience in teaching, supporting and examining in medical science and have developed an awareness of where those sitting professional exams have traditionally struggled. This text is a distillation of that experience.

Science and medicine have long been close partners; this is particularly true in radiology where the availability of imaging techniques is central to diagnosis. An understanding of the science underlying an imaging process enables the development of new or improved techniques, comprehension of the imaging limitations and even the creation of a research portfolio. This volume is intended as an education resource to help study and pass the necessary exams in physics required for medical specialists. Accounting for changes in examinations and curricula, this new edition includes over 50 new questions across all topics and a new chapter on functional and molecular imaging. Part of IPEM-IOP Series in Physics and Engineering in Medicine and Biology.

Designed to support candidates through the training and examination scheme of bodies such as the Royal College of Radiologists, this text focuses on the aspects of anatomy that are most relevant to the achievement of fellowship status. The text is arranged in a manner to encourage learning and an understanding of the key concepts rather than just providing a vehicle to pass the exams. Each chapter consists of a series of questions typical of those found on the fellowship exams. The images and diagrams that accompany each question provide a stimulus to the concepts being challenged, whilst the answers also contain explanations that, in many instances, go beyond that strictly necessary to support the answer. Examination tips to better prepare readers are also included.
