This fifth edition was updated to include newer material covering such subjects as: solid state rectifiers, newer mobile apparatus, including battery powered and capacitor-discharge units, field emission tubes, special tubes for mammography, using molybedenum targets and filters, xeroradiography, and saturable reactor for control of filament current. Many of the illustrations were revised or completely redrawn, and corresponding changes made in the descriptive legends. The format was kept essentially intact, however certain areas were expanded, for example, improvements in x-ray tube design, tomography, radiographic quality, radionuclides and nuclear medicine, irradiation therapy, and health physics. An excellent reference work.).
