Radiační ochrana při rentgenových výkonech - To nejdůležitější v praxi – Súkupová Lucie (2018)

A practical, schematic, and clear publication that introduces you to the principles of how individual devices work and the principles of protecting healthcare personnel and patients. The book is primarily intended for radiological assistants and radiologists (also for exam preparation), as well as radiological physicists (throughout their studies and exam preparation). It deals with X-ray diagnostics from a technical perspective and related radiation protection, perfectly filling a gap in our book market. The reader will find everything necessary in this excellently illustrated publication (more than 130 original didactic images and numerous tables and graphs). The book is divided into 10 chapters. The introductory chapter contains basic information about the concept of radiation protection.
