Reviews

""The purpose of this book is to give radiologic technology students a broad overview of pathologies they will encounter as technologists. Every unit has clear objectives that help define and describe each pathology.... [It] will be most useful for students in conjunction with instruction.... [It] covers each system in a logical manner starting with an anatomy review, covering imaging modalities used, and then an in-depth coverage of several pathologies.... The introductory chapter has excellent updated images and charts. It is an excellent review of terminology, biology terms used later in the chapters, and a breakdown of the etiologies that follow each system. Each chapter has detailed images, both in radiographic form and in diagrams. Every chapter lists charts including a pathologic summary.... would benefit greatly from adding a technique part to these charts to discuss additive and subtractive disease.... an excellent resource for radiology technology students to utilize to meet their pathology ARRT criteria."" Review by Laura Wegs, BS, RT(R) (Froedtert Hospital), ©Doody's Review Service, 2025.
