The justification of this edited textbook is the need to focus on the role of computed
tomography (CT) for an array of audiences, but more specifically to undergraduate
and postgraduate radiographers or CT technologists, the former title will be used
throughout. This book draws on the international expertise on important topics such
as physical principles of CT, radiobiology, radiation protection and optimization,
patient care, cross-sectional anatomy and imaging protocols for body regions and
image evaluations of common pathologies. The aim of this book is to not only review
innovation and contemporary practice in CT but also cover image evaluations of CT
with the goal of delivering high-quality care and safety.
This book aims to provide a holistic picture of CT, focusing on the multi-faceted
elements of radiation physics, to imaging protocols and image evaluation. It will
provide readers with an insight into both contemporary and innovative technical and
practical approaches within the general imaging field, backed up with existing evidence-basedresearch. This is not a text on CT physics and imaging protocols alonebut on the application and potential for such technological and radiation protection
advances within the CT field. The text, which includes most relevant technical and
pathophysiological premises, also clearly signposts to learning points and pitfalls.
Throughout the text, there is also an emphasis on image evaluation, with guidance on
the recognition of normal, benign, and malignant pathologies and clear instruction
on learning points and pitfalls. Given the increasing recognition of advanced scope
of practice and professional capabilities in the field of medical radiation science, a
focus on CT image evaluation is also a must. It is intended that this text will enhance
and offer original discussions surrounding the interconnectivity of the technology,
research, and patient care in CT
