Synopsis

This basic text covers the fundamentals of radiologic technology programs - radiologic physics, radiologic protection and biology, and image production - three of the five categories of information tested on the radiography Registry exam. It is designed to present need-to-know material in a straight forward, student-friendly style. End of chapter questions in Registry format will be featured. Will not cover history of the profession or other non-registry material.

About this title

Review:

"* Dorothy Saia has endorsed the project as a needed book beyond the Bushong and Carlton titles. * Trina Koscielicki, Associate Professor at Northern Kentucky University, will consider using text in place of Bushong title once entire manuscript could be reviewed. * Joyce Snyder, Program Director at St. Anthony Hospital School of Radiologic Science, believes text is written in simpler terms compared to Bushongs' use of "verbiage" terminology. However, Snyder feels that the text is weak on informational content.
