Get the essential information you need to master radiographic pathology!
Radiographic Pathology for Technologists, 8th Edition introduces the
pathologic appearance of common diseases as seen in diagnostic imaging.
Organized by body system, the book uses a clear, easy-to-understand
approach to discuss anatomy and physiology, the pathologic process,
signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. This edition
is updated to reflect today's radiography practice including diagnostic
modalities such as CT, MR, sonography, nuclear medicine, and
fusion/hybrid imaging. From well-known radiologic and imaging sciences
author Nina Kowalczyk, this essential text also provides excellent
preparation for the radiographic pathology portion of the
ARRT(R) credentialing exam.
