"It is always a pleasure to acknowledge the contributions of experts in the field of radiographic sciences including radiologic physics, equipment; image quality, quality control, radiobiology and radiation protection. from whom I have learned a great deal that allows me to write this book. First, I am indeed grateful to all those who have dedicated their energies in providing several comprehensive volumes on radiologic physics and instrumentation for the radiologic community. I would like to acknowledge the notable medical physicist, Dr. Stewart Bushong ScD, FAAPM, FACR and experimental radiobiologist, Dr. Elizabeth Travis, PhD. I have learned a great deal on radiologic science from the works of Dr. Bushong, a professor of radiologic science in the Department of Radiology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas. In addition, I have gained further insight into the nature, scope, and depth of radiobiology and particularly its significance in radiology, from Dr. Travis, a researcher in the Department of Experimental Radiotherapy, University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas. Secondly, I am grateful to physicist, Dr Hans Swan, PhD and digital radiography expert, Dr Rob Davidson, PhD who served as my primary supervisors for my PhD dissertation entitled Optimization of the Exposure Indicator of a Computed Radiography Imaging System as a Radiation Dose Management Strategy. Furthermore, Dr Stewart Bushong served as an external examiner for my PhD dissertation. Additionally, two other notable medical physicists from whom I have learned my digital radiography imaging physics and technology are Dr Charles Willis PhD (University of Texas; MD Anderson Cancer Center-Retired) and Dr Anthony Seibert, PhD (University of California at Davis). Dr Seibert's notable textbook on The Essential Physics of Medical Imaging, has educated me in the core principles of medical imaging physics. Thanks to you all"-- Provided by publisher.
