Summary
This book has been written by trainees who have successfully completed the new-style FRCR Part 1 physics exam and senior lecturers who have been chosen due to their renowned expertise in their specific field of work, providing the candidate with realistic exam-style questions, embedded with relevant facts and knowledge. The book is up to date in line with the new syllabus, with the inclusion of chapters covering MRI and ultrasound scans, and also covers new developments in legislation.
The questions in each chapter focus on the key concepts that are likely to be examined in that topic, allowing the candidate to test and reinforce their knowledge and identify areas of weakness. Clear and easy-to-understand explanations are provided with the relevant answers to allow the reader to understand the theory behind the questions.
The book has been written with the key focus of increasing knowledge of physics relevant to clinical radiology, making it an essential revision and learning tool for anyone sitting the new FRCR Part 1 physics exam.
