Synopsis:

A complete introductory guide to common and rare film images seen by physical therapists and physician assistants

 

Imaging for the Health Care Practitioner provides students and clinicians and other rehabilitation professionals with

detailed information and clinical assessment on commonly encountered conditions and reviews current imaging modalities used to evaluate those injuries, such as radiography, CT, MRI, and ultrasound. Numerous state-of-the-art images illustrate injuries and the healing process.

 

This organ-based review covers common injuries top to bottom and includes an instructive chapter on reading a plain film. It helps in understanding pathologies and the diagnostic process which may occur prior to physical therapy referral or may still be on-going.

 

Imaging for the Health Care Practitioner enables clinicians to understand imaging technologies, the advantages and

disadvantages associated with interpretation of test results, and the advantages and

limitations of requesting and using imaging as part of the screening and evaluation process. It

is indispensable for meaningfully discussing the results of these tests as a part of the patient

education process.
