Foreword

The first edition of this text is a welcome work in the radiography community. Digital imaging came into very widespread use in a short period of time. Many radiographers, and others working with digital imaging, were overwhelmed by the new information and technological aspects associated with this technology. Books have recently come out as reference texts for radiography students to learn this important aspect of radiography imaging. Everyone involved in the direct application of digital imaging must understand its technical aspec
