Description
Book SynopsisCOMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY: PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY In the newly updated second edition of Computed Tomography: Physics and Technology A Self Assessment Guide, distinguished computed tomography (CT) educator Euclid Seeram delivers a completely revised and expanded collection of multiple-choice questions covering all relevant technological advances, including the use of artificial intelligence, in the field of CT. In the book, readers will find a focused emphasis on physics and technology an area where students of this discipline have traditionally struggled.
The questions are presented in a format similar to those found on the certification examinations of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT), and other professional medical imaging organizations around the world. The author has also included true-false questions, short answer questions, and relevant learning outcomes to aid students in
