Bol Is your technique chart still producing retakes, inconsistent density, or examination failures on the ARRT registry? Every factor in radiographic imaging-kVp, mAs, grid ratio, SID, OID, AEC settings, body habitus, and detector physics-interacts with every other. Miss one relationship and the image fails. Most textbooks address these variables in isolation, leaving clinicians to discover the connections through experience and leaving ARRT candidates to memorize rules they cannot apply under pressure.Radiographic Imaging and Exposure Techniques for Radiologic Technology, 2026 Edition by Dominic R. Stafford, MS, RT(R) builds the integrated framework you need. Twenty-five chapters guide you from the physics of x-ray production through digital detector technology, exposure technique selection, scatter management, radiation protection, and ARRT certification review. Each chapter includes clinical pearls, worked technique calculations, and decision tables that show you why the factors interact-not just what values to select.- X-ray production and beam physics: bremsstrahlung and characteristic spectra, kVp effects on beam quality, filtration, and half-value layer measurement- Digital imaging systems: computed radiography phosphor technology, direct and indirect flat-panel detectors, detective quantum efficiency, fill factor, and deviation index interpretation- Exposure technique mastery: mAs and reciprocity law, the 15% kVp rule, fixed versus variable kVp systems, AEC calibration, and technique chart design for every body region- Scatter and grid physics: collimation and scatter-to-primary ratio relationships, grid ratio selection, Bucky factor, grid cutoff recognition, and air-gap technique- Patient and pathology variables: body habitus compensation, additive and destructive pathologies, pediatric and geriatric technique adaptation, trauma and mobile radiography- Radiation protection and dosimetry: ALARA implementation, OSL and TLD badge monitoring, NCRP Report 116 occupational dose limits, and radiation barrier design- ARRT certification preparation: content-specification-aligned chapter reviews, practice calculations, and integrated image-quality problem setsEach chapter features two full-color equipment and anatomy diagrams with labeled structures, a clinical vignette with complete diagnostic reasoning, a differential technique table, and evidence-based pearls anchored to AAPM, NCRP, ACR, and ARRT guidelines. Scan the QR code printed on the final page to access the companion 50-video course covering every chapter's core concepts through filmed demonstrations and worked examples-fully indexed to the text.Radiographic Imaging and Exposure Techniques for Radiologic Technology is the 2026 reference for radiologic technology students, program directors, and practicing radiographers preparing for the ARRT registry or seeking a definitive clinical technique resource.
