Product Description
Radiologic technologists play an important role in the care and management of patients undergoing advanced imaging procedures. This new edition provides the up-to-date information and thorough coverage you need to understand the physical principles of computed tomography (CT) and safely produce high-quality images. You'll gain valuable knowledge about the practice of CT scanning, effective communication with other medical personnel, and sectional anatomic images as they relate to CT.
- Comprehensively covers CT at just the right depth for technologists - going beyond superficial treatment to accommodate all the major advances in CT. One complete CT resource covers what you need to know!
- Brings you up to date with the latest in multi-slice spiral CT and its applications - the only text to include full coverage of this important topic.
- Features a chapter devoted to quality control testing of CT scanners (both spiral CT and conventional scan-and-stop), helping you achieve and maintain high quality control standards.
- Provides the latest information on: advances in volume CT scanning; CT fluoroscopy; multi-slice spiral/helical CT; and multi-slice applications such as 3-D imaging, CT angiography, and virtual reality imaging (endoscopy) - all with excellent coverage of state-of-the-art principles, instrumentation, clinical applications and quality control.
- Two new chapters cover recent developments and important principles of multislice CT and PET/CT, giving you in-depth coverage of these quickly emerging aspects of CT.
- Nearly 100 new line drawings and images illustrate difficult concepts, helping you learn and retain information.
- All-new material updates you on today's CT scanners, CT and PACS, image quality and quality control for multislice CT scanners, and clinical applications.

 Good Reference October 5, 2009
Mary Beth (South Dakota)
Hi,
I work at a small hospital with a small radiology department that just added CT. So these reference books are great to have on hand
Great Book/Horrible Seller August 9, 2009
Patricia A. Glasco (Poteau, OK USA)
Once I finally received the book,(it took almost a month) it's great. I was apprehensive about the copyright of 1994, but it provides all the fundemental information needed to study and learn for the registry exam. I would stay away from this seller. It took almost a month and several e-mails and additional money out of pocket to receive the purchase. Amazon was good and made it right with a refund of the additional out of pocket expense as soon as they found out about it. Bad xperience with this seller but impressive custommer service and response from Amazon!
Need for Class July 30, 2009
C. Hamm (USA)
I am using this book for a class. It arrived promptly and safely. Book seems to be a little repetitious, but maybe I need that to help in studding the subject.
 AMAZON RATING June 26, 2009
James P. McDowall (Scottsdale, AZ United States)
This is a rating for Amazon who I purchased the book through. I payed extra shipping charges to get 2 day delivery on this item which I needed before my class began. My order was placed on 6/21 and when I view the tracking it is saying it will not arrive until 6/26 hardly second day delivery even if we don't count the 21st (it was a Sunday). Expedited shipping from here seems to be a sham.
This book is terrible! January 13, 2008
Justin Oberman (Iowa City, IA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is terrible. It rambles on about topics and then says we don't even use them in CT. So why did I just read all that? The parts that I feel could use more discussion are barely touched. I do not recommend this book.
