A must have, especially for the more senior level students enrolled for the Diagnostic Radiography qualification. Also, anyone busy with or wanting to study additional, postgraduate short courses related to Computerised Tomography.
It looks like a book that I would keep a hard copy of
Interesting and friendly reading text. So reach with concise illustration
