Imaging Science is the essential textbook for all undergraduate students and others training in diagnostic radiography, providing unique integrated coverage of physics, photography and equipment. Imaging Science shows the reader the principles of achieving maximum diagnostic image quality while minimising the potentially harmful effects of exposure to ionising radiation. The first five chapters explain X-ray imaging, from conventional procedures through to computed tomography (CT). Then, three chapters cover the imaging modalities based on gamma radiation (RNI), ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI). For readers whose previous science study has been limited, chapters 1 - 4 are accompanied by commentary notes which draw out and define key scientific terms.

Over the years I have shared anecdotes with friends and colleagues from the times that I worked in mental hospitals. My daughters Elizabeth and Catherine have encouraged me to put down in writing the stories that seemed to capture their attention and others who have heard them. Like many people I have talked about writing a book and now with their encouragement I have done it. I have worked in six mental hospitals in different capacities over the years. Nowadays most mental hospitals have been closed or in a few cases reduced in size leaving only a few beds on what were massive sites often with their own farms creating a self-sufficient community.
