Publisher's Synopsis
This textbook for radiographers is intended to support the current and future needs fo radiographers' clinical practice. The book is broken down into three sections: the role of the radiographer in diagnostic imaging; the range of imaging modalities available, which include X-ray, ultrasound, MR and nuclear medicine; and the clinical application of radiography to the various body systems - which makes up the bulk of the text. In particular, the book focuses on the examinations that radiographers conduct, emphasizing the independence of radiography practice and the pivotal role of radiographers in ensuring that the most appropriate examination is carried out relative to the given clinical history, presenting clinical signs and symptoms, and the general and specific condition of the patient. The book takes the stance that all diagnostic imaging techniques fall within the scope of radiographers' practice and theat radiographers work in a wide variety of settings.
