内容説明

To meet the demands of practicing radiologic technologist and students in training, Blackwell introduces the latest volume of the Rad Tech's Guide Series. Rad Tech's Guide to Equipment Operation and Maintenance promises a clinically-relevant introductory review of radiographic imaging systems. This condensed handbook is both a concise review for board preparation exams, as well as handy reference guide for the busy rad tech. This on the spot reference features: *Content based on material found on the AART Entry to Practice Exam *Easy to read text for quick referencing and smooth navigation *Presents the most current and informative material on the technical aspects of radiographic equipment and total quality management *Pocket size -- take it anywhere!
