Digital Radiography Workbook

This workbook has over 3,000 questions, answers, and explanations in Radiography to help students pass their ARRT registry exam.

This new edition of the Student Workbook is designed for in-classroom use and organized in a “fill-in-the-blank” format. The wording of each question corresponds with the lecture slide series Digital Radiography in Practice: Instructor PowerPoint Slides, 2nd Ed. and closely matches the progression of concepts in the textbook. The guiding philosophy is to provide immediate or short-term reinforcement of lecture and reading material by focusing on keywords. Thus, the Workbook should be used on a daily basis, not as a self-test or review after whole units have been covered. “In-class use” is the most recommended method for use with the Digital Radiography in Practice Instructor PowerPoint Slides, 2nd Ed. The Workbook and slides are designed to work in tandem with each other to actively engage the student in classroom learning. The instructor may elect to require this type of classroom and award points for completion of each unit. If the Workbook is used as a reinforcement tool for homework, it is strongly recommended that the student answer the corresponding questions after reading each major section of a chapter. If students wait until after completing an entire chapter, they may have trouble recalling the keywords elicited by each question and are more likely to confuse different concepts. Major unit subheadings are included in the Workbook to match the textbook. For the purposes of unit review, self-testing or preparation immediately prior to a test, “Chapter Review Questions” are provided at the end of each chapter in the textbook. Answer keys to these questions may be made available from your instructor. This Workbook is an invaluable teaching instrument that allows the student to concentrate on the lecture by doing minimal writing while still challenging the student to participate in classroom learning. An efficient “note-taking” tool, it is an important reinforcement tool for homework and individual study.

Written with the radiography student in mind, Digital Radiography and PACS, 3rd Edition addresses today’s digital imaging systems, including computed radiography (CR), digital radiography (DR), and picture archiving and communications systems (PACS). This new edition incorporates the latest technical terminology and has been updated to reflect the 2017 ASRT Core Curriculum guidelines. It includes tips on acquiring, processing, and producing clear radiographic images, performing advanced image processing and manipulation functions on CR/DR workstations, storing images with PACS workstations, and a guide to quality control and management. Coauthored by radiography educators Christi Carter and Beth Veale, this text is designed to help you produce clear radiographic images and learn to provide safe archiving solutions. Coverage of digital imaging and PACS is provided at the right level for student radiographers and for practicing technologists transitioning to digital imaging. Chapter outlines, learning objectives, and key terms at the beginning of each chapter introduce the chapter content, and help you organize study and boost comprehension. Bulleted summaries recap the main points of each chapter, ensuring that you focus on the most important concepts. Review questions at the end of the chapters are linked to the chapter objectives and help you assess your understanding of the material. NEW! Latest information on digital imaging systems includes computed radiography (CR), digital radiography (DR), and picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) as well as the data required by practicing technologists who are transitioning to digital imaging. NEW! Updated guidelines reflect the 2017 ASRT Core Curriculum. NEW! Latest technical terminology incorporated throughout the text. NEW! Streamlined technical concepts help you understand and digest complicated material. NEW! Chapter focuses specifically on medical informatics in radiography

This is the second edition of a well-received book that enriches the understanding of radiographers and radiologic technologists across the globe, and is designed to meet the needs of courses (units) on radiographic imaging equipment, procedures, production, and exposure. The book also serves as a supplement for courses that address digital imaging techniques, such as radiologic physics, radiographic equipment and quality control. In a broader sense, the purpose of the book is to meet readers’ needs in connection with the change from film-based imaging to film-less or digital imaging; today, all radiographic imaging worldwide is based on digital imaging technologies. The book covers a wide range of topics to address the needs of members of various professional radiologic technology associations, such as the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists, the College of Radiographers in the UK, and the Australian and New Zealand Societies for Radiographers.

This Student Workbook for Radiography in the Digital Age is specifically designed for in-classroom use with the series PowerPoint Slides for Radiography in the Digital Age. Together with the textbook itself and the Instructor Resources CD, these products complete a full package of educational resources tailored for radiography courses in the Physics of Radiography, Principles of Imaging, Digital Image Acquisition and Display, and Radiation Biology and Protection. The Workbook is organized throughout in a concise "fill-in-the-blank" format, focusing on key words to reinforce students' retention of the material. The wording and sequencing of questions closely mirrors the PowerPoint Slide series for each course. This Workbook strikes a perfect balance between allowing the student to concentrate on the lecture by doing minimal writing while still challenging the student to participate in classroom learning. An effective "note-taking" tool, it also doubles as a reinforcement tool for homework and individual study.
