Customer Reviews

Good book for physics review.

Good book to study for radiology physics test. Read this, Nickoloff, and recalls. Recalls are the most important. I passed. BTW, buy a used one, $53 is too much to spend for a book you're going to use for 3-5 months and never open again.

Great Review Book for Radiological Physics

If you are a medical physicist or equivalent studying for Part I of the ABR exam or equivalent, this is a must have book. The Q & A are relevant and explained well. Overall great value for the money.

Superb and essential for physics boards

Using Huda as my primary source along with multiple years of Raphex questions and a single set of San Antonio review questions, I was able to do very well on the physics boards.I would strongly recommend purchasing this book as all the material it contains is HIGH yield on the physics boards. Well-organized, concise, and easy to read.

All you need for physics for boards

Huda, raphex and old questions are all you need. In that order. Even the fine print and tables in HUDA should be memorized.

Review of Radiological Physics

The second edition of this text is a must have book for any Radiology Resident or Medical Physicist. Each topic's review is very comprehensive and written to the point. This text should be used by Residents and Medical Physicist prior to taking their certification exams. There are questions at the end of each chapter's subject and there are two mock board exams that will help the resident or physicist identify his or her weaknesses.
