Legiehn, Radiology, Vol. 273 (2), November, 2014)“This edited book addresses fundamental radiological safety and quality principles in medical imaging. … Several groups should find this book educational, including students, experienced clinical leaders, and stakeholders in radiology, radiography, medical physics, health physics, patient safety, administration, regulatory authorities, professional organizations and agencies.
