Bushong’s Radiologic Science for Technologists, 13th Edition, authored by Stewart C. Bushong and Elizabeth Shields, is a primary textbook for student technologists and practicing radiologic technologists. The volume establishes theoretical and practical grounding in radiologic physics, image acquisition, and radiation safety for academic study and clinical preparation.
The core content covers radiologic physics, x-radiation mechanisms, x-ray imaging equipment, and digital radiography systems. Broad technical themes include medical image display, radiation interactions with matter, radiobiology principles, and systematic radiation protection. Specific sections focus on modern imaging applications, including fluoroscopy, mammography, interventional radiology, computed tomography, and tomosynthesis.
For practical study, important concepts boxes across the text are denoted with a penguin icon to highlight essential principles. The work was selected for inclusion in the 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Radiologic Technology, offering reference coverage for students preparing for credentialing examinations and technical practice.
