FOUNDATIONS OF RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES AND PATIENT CARE: A Complete Guide to Imaging Principles, Clinical Procedures, Health Informatics, and Compassionate Practice for the Modern Radiographer - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Radiologic technology students and working radiographers need a single, cohesive resource that bridges imaging physics, clinical procedures, patient care, and health informatics — without juggling separate textbooks to cover one profession.

Too often, available references treat these domains in isolation. Physics texts skip patient interaction. Patient care guides gloss over imaging science. Informatics coverage is scattered across supplemental materials or editions that predate current digital workflows. The result is a fragmented learning experience that leaves gaps in both your knowledge and your clinical confidence.

Foundations of Radiologic Sciences and Patient Care is the integrated reference built to close those gaps. Written for the modern radiographer, this evidence-based volume connects imaging science to bedside practice — covering everything from radiation physics and image acquisition to venipuncture, contrast media administration, patient assessment, and the informatics systems that drive today's imaging departments.

• Radiation physics, interactions, and radiation protection principles applied to diagnostic imaging
• Radiographic image acquisition, processing, and quality evaluation across modalities
• Patient care procedures including vital signs, medical asepsis, sterile technique, and emergency response
• Pharmacology and contrast media — types, administration routes, adverse reactions, and management
• Venipuncture and intravenous access techniques for contrast-enhanced examinations
• Health informatics including PACS, DICOM, HIS/RIS integration, and electronic health records
• Patient communication, cultural competence, and ethics across diverse populations
• Legal foundations of radiologic practice including informed consent and patient rights
• More than 100 clinical procedure and teaching videos accessible through integrated QR codes
• Clinical images and illustrations throughout for visual reinforcement of key concepts

Whether you are preparing for certification examinations, entering clinical rotations, or reinforcing your foundational knowledge in daily practice, this guide delivers the depth and applied relevance you need — with visual learning tools that bring procedures and imaging principles to life beyond the printed page.
