Review of Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography Apr 16, 2000
By George E. Sivertson
Having utilized Mary Alice Statkiewicz-Sherer's excellent text Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography through all three of her excellent editions I feel that I can well recommend this as not only a course level text book but an excellent review. The authors do not stand on the historic scare tactics of many others and yet cover this extensive topic with clarity and objectivity. My students have done well with this book as a text and study guide for the Radiation Protection section of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, Radiographer examination. I find this is one of the only texts to cover the topic of radiation hormesis with truth and clarity that bespeaks the findings of the extensive double longitudinal study on radiographers performed by the University of Minnesota. With full knowledge as an educator of some 36 years I find this inexpensive paperback version excellent for student afordability.

 Decent material; better as supplement vs. main source Dec 23, 2008
By Stir-Crazy
I have just finished my Radiobiology & Protection class; and after a grueling semester, I have found that the Statkiewicz's book is disorganized and confusing. The author tends to hop around topics, for example: it says "see chapter 7 for more information", when you are trying to understand material from chapter 6. I was also using Radiologic Science for Technologists: Physics, Biology, and Protection (Radiologic Science for Technologists: Phys, Biol & Protectio) in another class, but Bushong's book also contains similiar and MUCH more organized and in-depth detailed pertinent information compartively. Bushong presented the same concepts in a more outlined format along with easy-to-read charts and tables. Some of Bushong's information does get into too much depth (no complaints there). After going through his book after Statkiewicz's, I felt like the material made a lot more sense. The only pro to using Statkiewicz is that she writes more indepth stories about the different radiation accidents.

 Excellent book, great reference Dec 09, 2005
By rad tech
I found this book to be essential for all the info I needed for radiation protection. It's not only well-written but quite complete. It also served as a wonderful reference for studying for the ARRT exam. Another great reference for the ARRT exam, is:
*The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi, Volume 1, 2 and 3*
This book had great questions that were a definite help for passing the ARRT exam. You can't go wrong with *Radiation Protection in Medical Radiography* and with Leonardi's book.

Great for Parents as well as Students Feb 23, 2012
By Richard Barr
This is an affordable workbook that supplements the textbook. As the parent of a Radiology student, Radiation Protection is the subject that I am most concerned about because it directly affects the health and safety of my child as well as the patient. Due to this fact, I became involved by helping my child study the course material during the semester. This workbook not only helped to reinforce my child's understanding of the subject matter in the textbook, it also helped to educate me and relieve some of the fear I had for my child entering the field of Radiology. I highly recommend this Radiation Protection workbook.
