Covering the disease processes most frequently diagnosed with medical imaging, this edition is perfect for acquiring a better understanding of the clinical manifestation of different disease processes, their radiographic appearances, and their treatments, and covers disorders and injuries by body system and includes the latest information on CT, MRI, SPECT, PET, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine including updated radiographer notes, images, and review questions.

"Written by a computed tomography technologist, this book is the only comprehensive CT text geared to technologists. It is ideally suited for CT courses in radiologic technology programs and for stand-alone CT programs and offers excellent preparation for the CT certification exam administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Student-friendly features of the book include highlighted key terms, Key Concepts boxes, Clinical Application boxes, chapter review questions, and suggested readings."--BOOK JACKET.

Patient Care in Radiography with an Introduction to Medical Imaging, 9th Edition provides illustrated, step-by-step instructions for a wide range of patient procedures and imaging modalities. To ensure safe and effective patient care, key concepts are demonstrated visually and always applied to clinical practice. New to this edition is coverage of the latest post-image manipulation techniques and ASRT Practice Standards. This text emphasizes important skills such as patient assessment, infection control, patient transfer, and bedside radiography.

Preparing students for radiographer, radiologist assistant, ultrasound technologist and other imaging jobs, this book starts with basic math and physics then moves gradually through imaging essentials, from creating the beam to advanced modalities. Image quality factors get ample focus, including IR exposure, contrast, spatial resolution and distortion, along with updates on digital radiography systems, new imaging technologies and modern instrumentation.

Quality Management in the Imaging Sciences, 6th edition gives you complete access to both quality management and quality control information for all major imaging modalities. This edition features step-by-step QM procedures complete with full-size evaluation forms and instructions on how to evaluate equipment and document results. The only text of its kind on the market, Papp’s is a great tool to help you prepare for the ARRT Advanced Level Examination in Quality Management.

This text reflects the latest ARRT guidelines and revamped chapters reflect the latest digital technology. Chapters walk you through the steps of how to carefully evaluate an image, how to identify the improper positioning or technique that caused a poor image, and how to correct the problem. For each procedure, there is a diagnostic-quality radiograph along with several examples of unacceptable radiographs, a complete list of radiographic evaluation guidelines, and detailed discussions on how each of the evaluation points is related to positioning and technique.

This radiological technology textbook is a reference source for certification exam questions.

Reorganized and updated with the latest advances in the field, this Radiologic Science for Technologists: Physics, Biology, and Protection, 11th Edition aligns with the ASRT curriculum to strengthen your understanding of key concepts, and prepare you for success on the ARRT certification exam and in clinical practice. Firmly established as a core resource for medical imaging technology courses, this text gives you a strong foundation in the study and practice of radiologic physics, imaging and exposure, radiobiology, radiation protection, and more.

Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals, 4th Edition provides a comprehensive, and highly visual approach to the sectional anatomy of the entire body. Side-by-side presentations of actual diagnostic images from both MRI and CT modalities and corresponding anatomic line drawings illustrate the planes of anatomy most commonly demonstrated by diagnostic imaging. Easy-to-follow descriptions detail the location and function of the anatomy, while clearly labeled images help you confidently identify anatomic structures during clinical examinations.
