Excellent book, great reference

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.
