5.0 out of 5 stars Passed the registry after many years out of x-ray., March 28, 2006

This review is from: Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Radiography: The Complete Study Guide and Career Planner, 4e (Mosby's Complete Review of Radiography) (Paperback)

I originally sat for the ARRT exam in 1973 and ventured into x-ray sales in 1978 and then away from radiology altogether in 1990. Since I didn't do the CEU's, I gave up my registry. I recently learned that the window of opportunity to get back in was rapidly closing and I needed to apply to retake the exam by 4/1/06. I took the exam on 3/20/06 and just learned that I passed with a 91...the same score I received in 1973! I no longer had any of my text books and so, I researched and bought two resources: F.A. Davis' Practice Guide for the Radiography Examination and Mosby's Comprehensive Review.
I liked Mosby's for all the study information it contained. It was laid out in a very straightforward, organized format that was easy to study. I also liked the format on the disk for both studying and the exam. Some of the questions seemed pretty elementary. In fact, after consistently scoring in the 90's on the Mosby tests, I took an F.A. Davis test and scored a 71! Davis was primarily a test resource. There were formulas in the front that were useful, but the real value was in the testing. All told, I seriously studied about 3 weeks before taking the registry. Obviously, this combination worked well for me.
I have the same complaint about each: there were several questions from each disk where they marked a question wrong but the rationale they supplied said my answer was right. It made me question the validity of other questions. They need to go back and review all their questions again and revalidate them.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic review for arrt exam, recommend this one!!!!!, December 28, 2005

By 

Madison (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Radiography: The Complete Study Guide and Career Planner (Paperback)

What I found helpful was the chapters on image production and evaluation. It was a pleasure to review from because it was written quite clearly and to the point. The chapter on Anatomy, Positioning, Procedures was also fantastic and a plus to review from. This book also had a lot of high quality radiographs to help explain important concepts.

I also utilized {Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology} by Frederic Martini as a good backup reference.

I also found the following very helpful for arrt preparation and they are

{The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Questions and Answers (Topics: Radiation Protection, Equipment Operation & Quality Control) Volume 1} by Patrick Leonardi

{The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Questions and Answers (Topics: Image Production & Evaluation) Volume 2} by Patrick Leonardi

{The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Question and Answers (Topics: Radiographic Procedures: Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology and Positioning, Patient Care & Education) Volume 3} by Patrick Leonardi

These three volumes have the kind of questions asked on the arrt exam. These five books were very crucial for helping me pass the arrt exam.

This new edition is fantastic! Callaway has structured ALL of the questions in the book and on the CD in the Registry format. The rationales for the answers are right on target. I've looked at the other radiography review books; save your money. Callaway's book is exactly what we all need. His writing is just as if we were in class with him. I wish he was my teacher. With this book, he is! I wouldn't use any other review book!
