This title was first published in 1996, with the second
edition coming out in 2008. The world of medical imaging,
and thus radiology, has manifestly changed since then.
Whilst analogue systems and the presence of radiology
film were the standard in 1996, there are now consultant
radiologists who have never encountered film in their
working life. This book is aimed at those undertaking the
FRCR part 1 physics examination, as it has always been,
and the content has been updated to reflect the latest
syllabus available. The biggest content change from the
previous edition is the removal of analogue imaging
techniques. These may still be in use worldwide, but for
those in training in the United Kingdom, these are
considered obsolete.
Whilst medical imaging has changed and evolved sincethe first edition, there are two other major sources of
change during that time. The first is the take-off of artifi
cial intelligence and computer-assisted radiology. There
has been exponential growth in this industry, with untold
products and services now marketed and developed.
Whilst the underlying physics will not change, the interpretationof images, including their presentation and
manipulation by algorithms before a human observes these
images, will no doubt change. The second source of change
has been COVID-19, a virus that has affected everyone.
Compared to other medical colleagues, diagnostic radiologists
have been comparatively luckier with the ability for
remote reporting and teleconferencing facilitated by our
digital infrastructure.
