Knowing what to expect from a medical imaging procedure can decrease patient anxiety. This book explains the reasons for obtaining various studies, what preparation is needed, how the procedure is performed, how long it usually lasts, and what the patient will feel - all designed to permit a less stressful experience.
Practically every radiologist would benefit from an all-encompassing guide to malpractice issues in radiology. Dr. Ronald Eisenberg, a highly respected author in the field, has put together a comprehensive reference to provide radiologists with an introduction to malpractice issues and a basic understanding of their relationships with government regulatory agencies and HMOs. This softcover book will detail the mechanics of a lawsuit, how radiologists can become the object of a malpractice action, and what they can do to minimize potential exposure.
Unique among all medical texts on the subject, this volume provides a direct, stepwise approach to the differential diagnosis of abnormal findings on gastrointestinal radiographs. Each of the book's 80 chapters shows a specific radiographic pattern...lists every disease entity it could possibly be...and helps the reader confirm, refine, or reject differential diagnoses to reach the best clinical diagnosis. Using a "pattern approach," chapters focus on specific radiologic abnormal appearances rather than disease entities and outline the typical signs, symptoms, and predisposing factors for the abnormality. This edition features hundreds of new images and a new section on MRI of the liver.
Get the perfect level of pathology coverage to help you learn how to consistently produce quality radiographic images with Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology, 7th Edition. This full-color text provides a foundation in the basic principles of pathology and then focuses on the radiographic appearances of diseases and injuries that are most likely to be diagnosed with medical imaging. Understanding these disease processes, the radiographic appearances, and the treatments is necessary for technologists to fully contribute to the functioning of the diagnostic team, and this text is the perfect way to ground yourself in all three of these areas. Enhancements to this new edition include updated images in all modalities, content aligned to the latest ARRT Guidelines, updated Radiographer Notes, and the inclusion of some pediatric pathologies. - Thorough explanations help you select proper modalities and producing optimal images. - Hundreds of high-quality illustrations covering all modalities clearly demonstrate clinical manifestations of different disease processes and provide a standard for the high-quality images needed in radiography practice. - Discussion of specialized imaging explains how supplemental modalities, such as ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET) are sometimes needed to diagnose various pathologies. - Brief explanations of likely treatments provide valuable background. - Systems-based approach for building an understanding of pathology makes it easy for you to locate information and study one area at a time. - NEW! Updated images in all modalities provides the important information needed for clinical success. - NEW! Updated content matches the latest ARRT Guidelines to assist you in preparing for boards. - NEW! Updated Radiographer Notes incorporate current digital imaging information for both computed radiography and direct digital capture. - NEW! Inclusion of certain pediatric pathologies expands your comfort level with child and adolescent patients.
Corresponding to the chapters in Eisenberg and Johnson's Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology, 7th Edition, this workbook includes practical activities that help you better understand disease processes, their radiographic appearance, and their likely treatment. Each chapter includes objectives; anatomy labeling exercises; multiple-choice, matching, and fill-in-the-blank questions; case studies with accompanying images and discussion questions; and self-tests. - Anatomic images for labeling and analysis provides a refresher on content covered in anatomy and physiology courses. - Wide variety of exercises that complement the textbook reinforce concepts and assesses learning. - Case studies with diagnostic images familiarize you with how pathologies appear in different imaging modalities. - Self-tests for each chapter include 20-40 multiple-choice questions to help you assess your own mastery. - NEW! Updated images and exercises in all modalities help you firmly grasp difficult pathology basics. - NEW! Revised content reflecting the latest ARRT Guidelines assists you in preparing for boards. - NEW! Inclusion of certain pediatric pathologies expands comfort level with child and adolescent patients.
Medical imaging now plays a major role in diagnosis, choice of therapy, and follow-up. However, patients are often intimidated by the multiple imaging modalities available, the indications for their use, the imposing equipment, what the examinations are like and how long they last, and the advantages and disadvantages of various procedures. This book is designed to provide explanations for these and other issues in order to relieve some of the anxiety related to medical imaging studies.
