Description
This is a third edition of the dominant textbook in this field, which is used in nearly all dental schools in the UK and in many other countries. It covers both radiography (producing the image) and radiology (interpreting the image) and presents the subject in an accessible format. This new edition has been revised in accordance with important new guidelines on radiation protection which came into force in January 2000.
