4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely informative and a useful study reference., October 23, 1999

This review is from: Appleton & Lange's Review of Cardiovascular Interventional Technology Examination (Paperback)

I found this book useful for preparing to take the ARRT exam. There is so much information that technologist need to pass this exam and this book gives a clear, concise overview of all the necessary information for technologists. The information contained in this book is easily understood, educational, and appropiately divided into each category. The pathology platforms were excellent in providing extra highlights into the areas involving angiography and related subjects. The question and answer sections were designed especially well for anyone preparing for an exam. The questions are written in a similar format as they are on the ARRT exam and the answers have complete explanations, for both right and wrong answers. Most of the diagrams and xray picures are good; however, some are difficult to interpret, due to reproduction or labelling quality. Overall this exam prep book is excellent and very level appropriate for technologists wanting to pass the CIT ARRT exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars The all inclusive book to pass the CVIT registry!, August 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Appleton & Lange's Review of Cardiovascular Interventional Technology Examination (Paperback)

In working in the Cardiovascular Cath Lab over a period of several years, I have made the observation that our field is evolving to include all of the invasive radiology world. With special procedure labs being squeezed out of hospital radiology departments and into the Cath Labs, the radiologic technologist be multi-faceted in order to not become useless. The Cardiovascular-Interventional examination offered by the ARRT is one of the toughest of all exams offered to the Radiologic Technologist. With only a passing rate of approximately 30%, this examination with allow the technologist to study new and established examinations that the Cath lab has been and will be doing in the future. I used this book with the aid of a couple of other materials to help me pass this examination and I can only hope that you will do the same. This book offers all facets of the current Cath Lab practices, as well as past and future technologies that will help to keep you a performer in your Cardiovascular-Interventional Cath Lab or Special procedures lab today and in the future.
