The Best
 Merrill's Atlas of
Radiographic Positions and Radiologic Procedures This
comprehensive resource presents more than 400 projections. Clear,
step-by-step instructions explain all commonly performed procedures.
Merrill's shows how to properly position the patient so that each radiograph
provides the information the physician needs to make a correct diagnosis.
Separate chapters cover each bone group or organ system, all illustrated in
full color and augmented with MRI images as appropriate. This text is so
highly regarded that many state boards and the American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists refer to it when designing their certification
exams. If you only buy one text
in radiology, this should be the one.
 Radiologic Science for
Technologists : Physics, Biology, and Protection (Bushong's) -
Designed to convey a working knowledge of radiologic science, providing
a base from which radiographers can make informed decisions about technical
factors and diagnostic image quality in the workplace. Its unique, full-color
design highlights important concepts and makes content easy to understand.
User-friendly features, clearly written content, and up-to-date material makes
this resource ideal for both practitioners and radiography students preparing
for the ARRT certification exam.
 Radiology : An
Illustrated History - Eisenbert presents a well-illustrated,
one-of-a-kind look at radiology's 100-year history. The book ranges from Roentgen's
discovery of X-rays (1895) and the Curie's discovery of radioactivity (1896) to the
development and growth of today's various clinical subspecialities, emphasizing human
ingenuity and rapidly advancing technology. (Out of print but you can order a

 A Century of X-Rays and
Radioactivity in Medicine : With Emphasis on Photographic Records of the Early Years
- Over 700 historical illustrations, with full and informative captions, are supported by
short introductory essays to blow the dust off our fascinating radiological past in an
easily readable style. The focus of this book is on the historically more interesting
earlier years - of discovery and invention, diagnosis and therapy, dosimetry, risk and
protection. The photographic record is complemented by archival accounts of the pioneer
scientists and physicians, and of their early patients, and is interspersed with a variety
of radiological anecdotes. In the several chapters on diagnostic techniques, radiotherapy
and nuclear medicine the history is nevertheless brought up to date so that the old
methodologies may be contrasted with newer technologies.

Clinical Presentation, Pathophysiology, Imaging -
".Textbook provides an introduction to the specialty of
radiodiagnosis and imaging. Arranged by organ systems. Extensive halftone
illustrations."
Ethics and Basic Law :
For Medical Imaging Professionals
 Forensic
Radiology -
The scope of
applications of forensic radiology includes determination of identity,
evaluation of injury and death, use in criminal and civil litigation, in
administrative proceedings such as workman's compensation hearings, in medical
education, and in research. Until now, there has been no single source of
radiologic knowledge for various disciplines to turn to when examining X-rays
or other radiologic records as forensic evidence. This is the first book to
cover the entire spectrum of radiological applications in forensic science.
Fundamentals of
Emergency Radiology
 Integrated Patient Care
for the Imaging Professional - As an imaging professional, you
must be able to communicate effectively with patients while delivering the
highest quality care possible. The expertise you bring to the health care
setting and your interactions with patients will have a significant impact on
their well-being. This is why it is so important for imaging professionals to
fully understand the many facets of patient care. This new text offers a
thoughtful presentation of what you need to know to provide optimal care to
each and every patient. Step-by-step procedures illustrated in full color
clearly demonstrate the "how to's" of patient care for the variety
of patients and situations that you will encounter in the clinical setting.

 Patient
Care in Radiography - This popular
textbook helps imaging technology students acquire the technical and the
interpersonal skills they need to provide expert patient care in the
clinical environment. It also provides an excellent orientation to clinical
work for the beginning student and serves as an up-to-date reference on
patient care. Each chapter connects a specific topic with its applications
for patient care. Skills that are essential for quality patient care in
radiography, such as safety, transfer, positioning, infection control, and
patient assessment, are emphasized throughout. In addition, readers will
find information on microbiology, emerging diseases, transcultural
communication, ECGs, administering medications, and bedside radiography.
Pocket Guide to
Radiography
 Practical
Radiographic Imaging - Part I, Producing
the Radiographic Image, presents chapters on x-rays and radiographic
variables, recording the permanent image, qualities of the image, and
interactions of x-rays within the patient. Part II, Visibility Factors,
includes chapters on milliampere-seconds, kilovoltage-peak, machine phase
and rectification, beamfiltration, field size limitation, patient status and
contrast agents, pathology and casts, scattered radiation and image fog,
grids, intensifying screens, and image receptor systems. Part III,
Geometrical factors, discusses focal spot size, the anode bevel,
source-image receptor distance, object-image receptor distance, distance
