The Handbook of X-ray Imaging: Physics and Technology, 1st Edition, edited by Dr. Paolo Russo, provides an extensive reference on the physical principles and technological instrumentation of X-ray imaging. Prepared with input from an international scientific board, the handbook brings together contributions from over 130 expert contributors.
The volume addresses two- and three-dimensional imaging methods across energy spectra ranging from soft X-rays to megavoltage levels. Core topics span computed tomography, fluoroscopy, dental imaging, phase contrast imaging, and non-destructive industrial testing.
This handbook supports graduate students in medical physics and biomedical engineering, medical physics residents, radiographers, and industrial testing specialists by connecting fundamental radiation physics with clinical and technical practice.
