Book Description

This guide offers a comprehensive review, in outline form, of the five major subject areas covered on the ARRT exam in radiography. Each review of a subject is followed by a set of questions related specifically to that area. After students have reviewed the material, they are ready to take the two mock exams printed in the text and the unlimited test simulations on the companion CD-ROM. This edition also provides information on preparing resumes, interviewing, and career planning in order to help students make the transition to careers as practicing radiographers.
  • Review questions with answers are presented in multiple-choice format similar to the ARRT exam and help students assess preparedness and identify areas that need additional study.
  • Mock exams on CD simulate taking the computer-based exam now administered by the ARRT.
  • CD allows students to work in tutorial mode - with immediate feedback - or in exam mode, with feedback only after the entire test is completed.
  • CD includes more than 1,100 new questions in addition to those from the book, coded by the five areas of the Registry exam, which can be randomly combined to create unlimited practice exams.
  • Study aids on CD include these: questions may be bookmarked for later study, rationales are included for correct and incorrect answers, test tips are provided for difficult questions, and test scores are recorded and stored with a date stamp.
  • Sections on career planning, continuing education requirements, and career advancement offer examples of resumes and cover letters plus other important information.
  • Career preparation content includes information on basic financial planning as it applies to salary and benefit negotiation.
  • Evolve Resources include an online course management system for instructor use.
  • Electronic flashcards are provided on the companion CD, containing important formulas and content.
  • Text/CD provides more questions than any competing product, and the test-taking software offers an infinite number of combinations to generate unique mock exams.
  • All questions throughout are in multiple-choice format to more closely resemble the actual Registry exam.
  • Enhanced rationales make it easier to understand correct and incorrect responses to questions.
  • Expanded coverage of digital and computed radiography reflects increased emphasis on these topics on the Registry exam.
  • Exam preparation and procedures plus test taking skills are consolidated in Chapter 1.
  • Improved layout makes study guide outlines easier to read and digest.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Passed the registry after many years out of x-ray., March 28, 2006
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    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 
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This one is the best!!!, February 18, 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)
    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!
