Download or read book Computed Tomography For Learning Technologist written by Isidor Manuat Jardin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book fills an immense need within the CT technologist education genre. There are many books on CT for techs: physics, imaging anatomy and case studies, and scanning primers. There are fewer that take the express role of a hands-on, practical, day-to-day training guide in addition to ensuring that all the key safety and patient care principles are followed. The need became very clear to us in practice as we worked very hard to train many x-rays and nuclear medicine technologists to become CT certified and, more importantly, become expert technologists who can think on the fly, ask their radiologists the right questions, and in all cases help use fundamental principles to improve imaging protocols, contrast bolus timing, radiation dose monitoring management, and post-processing. To be comprehensive Isidor has included our well tested curriculum, which we certainly recommend. In addition, there is great primary material for learning and future reference." Payam Massaband, M.D. Clinical Associate Professor of Radiology Chief, Radiology Service, VA Palo Alto Health Care System This book is intended for learning radiologic technology on OJT, on volunteer status, preparing to take the CT certification exam, and teaching facility mentors (experienced employees or supervisors).

Download or read book Practical SPECT CT in Nuclear Medicine written by David Wyn Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear Medicine is a diagnostic modality which aims to image and in some cases quantify physiological processes in the body to highlight disease or injury. Within nuclear medicine, over the past few decades, major technological changes have occurred and concomitantly changes in the knowledge and skills required have had to evolve. One of the most significant technological changes has been the fusion of imaging technologies, to create hybrid systems such as SPECT/CT, PET/CT and PET/MR. With these changes in mind, Practical SPECT/CT in Nuclear Medicine provides a handy and informative guide to the purchase, clinical implementation and routine use of a SPECT/CT scanner. Practical SPECT/CT in Nuclear Medicine will be a valuable resource for all personnel working in nuclear medicine and it will be of particular value to trainees.
