Book Description

Now in its updated Second Edition, this volume is the only text on computed tomography that is specifically geared to radiologic technologists. It gives technologists a thorough working knowledge of normal cross-sectional anatomy and CT scanning techniques, including newer techniques such as spiral CT and high-resolution CT of the chest. The book is an ideal everyday reference and a perfect study guide for subspecialty certification examinations such as the one given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Anatomically oriented chapters cover all cranial and extracranial regions of the body. Normal cross-sectional anatomy is shown in 150 CT scans made on a state-of-the-art scanner, with corresponding line drawings on which anatomic landmarks are labeled. Additional chapters cover principles and instruments of CT; clinical considerations for the CT technologist; contrast media reactions; CT-guided interventional techniques; and spiral CT

This review is from: Clinical Computed Tomography for the Technologist (Hardcover)

This a great basic book for CT, but since it last came out in 1995 the data and images are somewhat dated. Multislice CT is not mentioned as it was not available then. The images included do not reflect the improved quality from today's state of the art scanners produce. I have used this book as a Computed Tomography reference. It states things clearly and concisely.
