Review & Description

With more than 400 projections presented, Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning and Procedures remains the gold standard of radiographic positioning texts. Authors Eugene Frank, Bruce Long, and Barbara Smith have designed this comprehensive resource to be both an excellent textbook and also a superb clinical reference for practicing radiographers and physicians. You'll learn how to properly position the patient so that the resulting radiograph provides the information needed to reach an accurate diagnosis. An entire chapter has been developed on positioning obese patients. Complete information is included for the most common projections, as well as for those less commonly requested.

• Comprehensive coverage of anatomy and positioning makes Merrill's Atlas the most in-depth text and reference available for radiography students and practitioners.
• Essential projections that are frequently performed are identified with a special icon to help you focus on what you need to know as an entry-level radiographer.
• Full-color presentation helps visually clarify key concepts.
• Summaries of pathology are grouped in tables in positioning chapters for quick access to the likely pathologies for each bone group or body system.
• Special chapters, including trauma, surgical radiography, geriatrics/pediatrics, and bone densitometry help prepare you for the full scope of situations you will encounter.
• Exposure technique charts outline technique factors to use for the various projections in the positioning chapters.
• Projection summary tables at the beginning of each procedural chapter offer general chapter overviews and serve as handy study guides.
• Bulleted lists provide clear instructions on how to correctly position the patient and body part.
• Anatomy summary tables at the beginning of each positioning chapter describe and identify the anatomy you need to know in order to properly position the patient, set exposures, and take high-quality radiographs.
• Anatomy and positioning information is presented in separate chapters for each bone group or organ system, all heavily illustrated in full-color and augmented with CT scans and MRI images, to help you learn both traditional and cross-sectional anatomy.

• Includes a unique new section on working with and positioning obese patients.
• Offers coverage of one new compensating filter.
• Provides collimation sizes and other key information for each relevant projection.
• Features more CT and MRI images to enhance your understanding of cross-sectional anatomy and prepare you for the Registry exam.
• Offers additional digital images in each chapter, including "stitching" for long-length images of the spine and lower limb.
• Standardized image receptor sizes use English measurements with metric in parentheses.
• Depicts the newest equipment with updated photographs and images.

Review & Description

A complete review for the Registry exam, Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Radiography: The Complete Study Guide and Career Planner, 6th Edition covers the five major subject areas of the ARRT exam in radiography. It is also an effective study guide for many radiography courses! Written in outline format, each review of a subject is followed by questions related specifically to that area. Two mock ARRT exams are included in the book, and online exams include a pool of over 1,400 review questions that may be randomly combined to generate a virtually limitless number of mock ARRT exams. From noted radiography educator William J. Callaway, this edition also provides advice on writing resumes and cover letters, interviewing, employer expectations, and continuing education requirements to help you make the transition to a successful career.

• Review of the five major subject areas covered on the ARRT exam, in an outline format, helps you concentrate on the most important information.
• Over 2,400 review questions in the book and online offer practice with a multiple-choice format similar to the ARRT exam.
• Thorough coverage of digital and computed radiography reflects the increased emphasis of these topics on the Registry exam.

• Online mock exams let you practice in tutorial mode -- with immediate feedback after each question -- or in exam mode, with feedback only after you complete the entire test.

• Online study tools include study tips for difficult questions and electronic flashcards with formulas, key terms, and important topics.
• Rationales for correct and incorrect answers are included in the appendix.

• Career preparation advice includes writing resumes and cover letters, tips for interviewing, a look at what employers expect, career advancement, basic financial planning, and continuing education requirements.

• Updates reflect the latest ARRT exam changes with expanded coverage of computed and direct radiography, a review of computed tomography along with questions, and an additional 200-question exam in the Review Activities and Challenge Tests chapter.
• Online access to mock exams.
• Job search preparation includes tips on how to submit online applications and resumes.

Review & Description

Praise for this book:

Innovative...the descriptions are accurate and concise - exactly what the examiner wants to hear...it would be difficult to find a better high-yield, high-quality textbook covering every subsection of the radiology oral board examination.--JAMAy

Extremely useful...This review book is not only rewarding but also a resource radiologists can continue to refer to throughout their careers.--Academic Radiology

Provides an excellent selection of cases for sharpening diagnostic radiology considerations...useful for board preparation and review.--Doody's Review

Top 3 Differentials in Radiology: A Case Review is a practical case-based reference that will enable radiologists and radiology residents to hone their skills in developing differential diagnoses for common imaging findings. Presented as unknowns, the cases are arranged into twelve main sections based on radiology subspecialties. The book presents each case as a two-page unit. The left page features clinical images and a brief description of the clinical presentation. The right page provides the key imaging finding, Top 3 differential diagnoses, additional differential diagnoses, the final diagnosis, and imaging pearls. The final section of the book contains selected cases from all radiology subspecialties with distinctive imaging findings that should lead definitively to a single diagnosis.

Features:
• 325 cases presented as unknowns to facilitate exam preparation
• Valuable high-yield review of all disease entities on the list of differential diagnoses for each case
• More than 700 high-quality images, including 74 in full color, depicting key radiographic findings
• Imaging pearls at the end of each case that highlight key teaching points

With its emphasis on gaining a solid foundation in differential diagnoses for the full range of key imaging findings encountered in clinical practice, this book is ideal for individuals preparing for the initial American Board of Radiology examination as well as more experienced radiologists preparing for recertification examinations.

Review & Description

Biomedical optical imaging is a rapidly emerging research area with widespread fundamental research and clinical applications. This book gives an overview of biomedical optical imaging with contributions from leading international research groups who have pioneered many of these techniques and applications.

A unique research field spanning the microscopic to the macroscopic, biomedical optical imaging allows both structural and functional imaging. Techniques such as confocal and multiphoton microscopy provide cellular level resolution imaging in biological systems. The integration of this technology with exogenous chromophores can selectively enhance contrast for molecular targets as well as supply functional information on processes such as nerve transduction.

Novel techniques integrate microscopy with state-of-the-art optics technology, and these include spectral imaging, two photon fluorescence correlation, nonlinear nanoscopy; optical coherence tomography techniques allow functional, dynamic, nanoscale, and cross-sectional visualization. Moving to the macroscopic scale, spectroscopic assessment and imaging methods such as fluorescence and light scattering can provide diagnostics of tissue pathology including neoplastic changes. Techniques using light diffusion and photon migration are a means to explore processes which occur deep inside biological tissues and organs. The integration of these techniques with exogenous probes enables molecular specific sensitivity.
