The ABCs of Radiology

From A to Z, this playful alphabet book turns the world of radiology into a story kids can enjoy and grown-ups will instantly recognize. Each letter introduces a core concept from the imaging suite, from Angiography and Barium Swallows to X-Ray Rooms and Zooming In. Along the way, young readers will meet radiologists and technologists, discover what DICOM images and kilovoltage are all about, learn why lead aprons and quality checks matter, and find out what jumbo magnets and magnetic fields actually do. With simple language, witty nods to daily life behind the lightbox, and a tour through everything from fluoroscopy to Yttrium Y-90, it is a fast, fun read that doubles as a surprisingly sharp primer on how we see inside the human body. Perfect as a gift for radiologists, technologists, medical physicists, and anyone who has ever worn a gown or held still for a scan, this is an ABCs book with just enough truth to make you laugh.
