Dr. Ehsan Samei (Duke Radiology) and Dr. Donald Peck (Henry Ford Health System Radiology) recently released the fifth edition of the textbook Hendee’s Physics of Medical Imaging. With updated graphics, and new sections for the latest imaging techniques, this book is an excellent introductory resource for new students and also serves as a comprehensive review for those pursuing residency or board certification in medical physics and radiology. Features include highly readable text- and image-based explanations, with minimal equations, plus an intuitive organizational structure directly tying particle physics, radiobiology, and human anatomy/physiology to the imaging modalities discussed. The authors worked diligently to provide a wide variety of audience members with a thorough and accurate compendium of medical-imaging information that stands to benefit readers in all stages of their careers. We appreciate the authors’ time and effort!
