The multiple choice questions have been specifically arranged as practice papers, and have been written to reflect the number and style of the questions in the part one examination. Anyone else who uses ionising radiation in their work will profit from studying this book, such as radiographers, nuclear physicians, and cardiologists. Our aim is to help you pass the examination by testing your knowledge of the examination syllabus which covers the physics and regulations governing ionising radiation. This book will aid you greatly in refining your technique in answering negatively marked multiple choice questions as well as alerting you to areas of your knowledge that require further study. We hope the detailed answers will act as useful revision notes. Good Luck! M.K. L.J.M. D.G. London, 2004 vii
