Exposure of the
Pregnant Patient to Diagnostic Radiations -
A Guide to Medical Management
by
Louis K. Wagner, Ph.D., Richard G. Lester, M.D.,
& Luis R. Saldana, M.D.
Medical Physics, Madison Wisconsin
ISBN: 0-944838-72-3
"...strongly suggest that you obtain
a copy of this book... of great value... an excellent
guide..."
Dean W. Broga Radiology, April 1998
"...very easy to read...contains a great
deal of useful information...written for physicians...useful
reference for medical physicists, medical health physicists...should
be required reading for all radiology residents."

"The first edition of the book...
was excellent. The third edition is even
better... should be available in every radiology
department."
Richard L. Witcofski
AJR, 1999: 172, pg 52
"This book is recommended
for all hospital departments and outpatient
clinics... an essential acquisition for
radiologists . Residents should have read
it thoroughly before their exams and should
remember its existence when in practice.
It is the
definitive reference source."
Barry Hobbs, MD, FRCPC

Radiation Bioeffects
and Management Test and
Syllabus
American College of Radiology, Reston, VA
ISBN: 1-55903-032-1
"The publication is intended for radiologists
and is focused on the safe use of radiation in medicine. Health
physicists and medical physicists carrying out radiation protection
activities at hospitals and clinics will find the book useful
a a source of up-to-date information on the biological effects
of radiation on patients undergoing diagnostic tests as well
as the medical staff carrying out the procedures...
Wagner and the members of the committee (Fabrikant,
Fry, Kremkau, Mettler, Pavlicek, and Wellman) have done an
outstanding job in preparing this self-evaluation in the area
of radiation bioeffects and management."
