Riassunto:

The text introduces students to the imaging sciences and covers the patient care skills necessary for clinical practice. The content covered in this text meets the standards set by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Curriculum Guide and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Task List for certification examinations and helps to not only prepare the student for certification, but also for professional practice. For those programs that teach introductory material and patient care in the same course, "Adler and Carlton" is the perfect choice.
