Ken Holmes is now retired but was the programme
leader for the BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Imaging at the University of
Cumbria (formerly St Martins College). He is one of the co-authors
of Clark's Pocket Handbook for Radiographers and believes the time
is right to develop a pocket physics book to use alongside the
technique one. Ken started education as a clinical tutor and has
worked at several higher education institutes in the UK and has
taught physics and imaging principles for 30 years.Marcus
Elkington is a senior lecturer in Diagnostic Imaging at
Sheffield Hallam University. He has a great interest in imaging and
physics related to diagnostic radiography and has been helping
students understand physics for many years. Marcus feels there is a
place for a pocket physics book produced in a student-friendly
format that is aimed
specifically at the core topic areas surrounding general
radiographic imaging.Phil Harris was head of
school at Medical Imaging Science at the University of Cumbria for
many years and has always taken the greatest pleasure in passing on
a basic understanding of radiation science to radiography students,
many of whom enter into this subject with some considerable
trepidation. This book has been written especially with
these students in mind.
