this book is not within the scope of this review
book was listed as gently used/good condition. the bind was broken and chapter ten was hanging on a bit of glue. Chapter ten is now free little bit frustrated that I paid for a good book when it was more like roughly used.Book has a nasty habit of going into some depth about say 'statistical models' and then hastily adding that statistical models aren't within the scope of the book and won't really be covered. So it leads you on for a few paragraphs only to find you didn't need to read it at all [sometimes this is the most interesting stuff and its a big let down/teaser] Or some of the paragraphs become find the words in the citations which is rather hard to read a sentence when it's full of citation.Some areas it really fails to demonstrate knowledge and I find myself using google. The review in the back of each chapter has been helpful but I wish there was more than just ten.

UUUGGGHHHH. This book is HORRIBLE
Horrible. I choked thru three chapters before I got to anything that remotely resembled needed information. Geez, don't tell me about the 7th generation of scanner that doesn't exist and other insignificant facts. I ended up dropping the class and I'm gonna get my 16 hours or structured educational requirements thru ASRT.

If you are a Physics or Engineering major, you might do well with this book.
I purchased this book because it's the required text for a CT program I am taking at my local community college. This book contains all the information you need BUT it contains a TON of information you don't need and the information is presented at a level that feels like you need a degree in physics to understand it. This is one of the most confusing textbooks I have ever used. After working my way through the first six chapters, I felt like I had not learned anything at a level that I was comfortable with. I could only answer the questions by searching for the answers in the book. I was not gaining an understanding of the material. If you are buying a CT book for use on your own, don't buy this one. I purchased the Computed Tomography for Technologists book by Romans to use as a supplement and the content in that book is very well laid out and also MUCH easier to understand.

Do not recommend if you plan on actually using the book
Whole book is falling apart after one month of just reading through the chapters.

Pages Falling Out
Pages have started to fall out during the first use of this book! It was very expensive so I’m very disappointed.

Buon libro
Un buon libro per iniziare ad entrare nel mondo della TAC. Onestamente è un po' vago e ripetitivo in qualche capitolo ma, nel complesso, lo consiglio. Non entra nel parte più matematica per cui non è adatto ad ingegneria.

The Kindle app doesn't let me go from one page ...
The Kindle app doesn't let me go from one page to another quickly on my laptop and lags everytime you flip pages (windows10) - does allow me more control on my iPad but constantly changing its format (images would be in one page and when you flip back the line has swifted down to the page, image went to some other page, etc.
