Instructor's Manual for Use With Fuchs's Radiographic Exposure, Processing and Quality Control

EVALUATING RADIOGRAPHS is ideally organized as the primary textbook for a course in radiographic film evaluation, and it is also designed to be used as a complementary source to a text on principles of radiographic exposure. The book presents over 300 poor quality radiographs, focusing on how each resulted and how to correct a repeated exposure. It encompasses positioning for all routine procedures as well as the technical aspects of the image. The text teaches the student to determine precisely how much and in which direction a position must be moved in order to correct it. The same type of detailed analysis is applied for technical image qualities. EVALUATING RADIOGRAPHS covers every topic listed in the ASRT Curriculum Guide for a course in radiographic film evaluation. The text is divided into three parts: General Considerations, Positioning Quality, and Technical Quality. Open-ended review exercises at the end of each section present dozens of radiographs, allowing students to practice applying the principles learned. An Appendix with over 150 multiple-choice questions, organized by chapter, is provided along with an answer key. This serves as a valuable resource for the instructor as well as a comprehensive review for the student.

Evaluating Radiographs

Heathman, William S.

This new Seventh Edition is a most expansive and comprehensive text on radiographic exposure and imaging and encompasses the vast and intricate changes that have taken place in the field. As with previous editions, the book is intended to complement radiographic physics texts rather than duplicate them. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, and therefore assumes some basic knowledge of physical principles upon which the concepts of practical technique can be built. This volume also attempts to bridge the gap between quality control and technique. Part I, Producing the Radiographic Image, presents chapters on x-rays and radiographic variables, recording the permanent image, qualities of the image, and interactions of x-rays within the patient. Part II, Visibility Factors, includes chapters on milliampere-seconds, kilovoltage-peak, machine phase and rectification, beam filtration, field size limitation, patient status and contrast agents, pathology and casts, scattered radiation and image fog, grids, intensifying screens, and image receptor systems. Part III, Geometrical Factors, discusses focal spot size, the anode bevel, source-image receptor distance, object-image receptor distance, distance ratios, beam-part-film-alignment, geometric functions of positioning, and motion. Part IV, Comprehensive Technique, presents chapters on analyzing the radiographic image, simplifying and standardizing technique, technique by proportional anatomy, technique charts, exposure controls, patient dose, quality control, and solving multiple technique problems. Part V, Special Imaging Methods, includes mobile radiography, special imaging techniques, fluoroscopic image intensification, digital imaging, and computed radiography. Part VI, Processing the Radiograph, completes the text with chapters on processing steps and chemistry, developmental variables, automatic processors, film handling and duplication procedures, and sensitometry and darkroom control. Each chapter concludes with an examination that will help the student review materials and put them into perspective. Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and identification/explanation questions are all included. An answer section is provided at the back of the text. This book is by far the the best available for schools that are focused on the practical application of radiographic technique. Its greatest strengths are its clear and concise explanations, plentiful examples, and abundant illustrations.

Encyclopedias & Subject Guides

Long overdue, this new work provides just the right focus and scope for the practice of radiography in this digital age, covering four entire courses in a typical radiography program. The entire emphasis of foundational physics has been adjusted in order to properly support the specific information on digital imaging that will follow. The paradigm shift in imaging terminology is reflected by the careful phrasing of concepts, accurate descriptions and clear illustrations throughout the book. There are 713 illustrations, including meticulous color line drawings, numerous photographs and stark radiographs. The two chapters on digital image processing alone include 60 beautifully executed illustrations. Foundational chapters on math and basic physics maintain a focus on energy physics. Obsolete and extraneous material has been eliminated, while concepts supporting digital imaging are more thoroughly discussed. All discussion of electricity is limited to only those concepts, which bear directly upon the production of x-rays in the x-ray tube. Following is a full discussion of the x-ray beam and its interactions within the patient, the production and characteristics of subject contrast, and an emphasis on the practical application of radiographic technique. This is conventional information, but the terminology and descriptions used have been adapted with great care to the digital environment. No fewer than ten chapters are devoted directly to digital imaging, providing extensive coverage of the physics of digital image capture, digital processing techniques, and the practical applications of both CR and DR. Image display systems are brought up to date with the physics of LCD screens and of electronic images. Chapters on Radiation Biology and Protection include an unflinching look at current issues and radiation protection in practice. The radiation biology is clearly presented with numerous lucid illustrations, and a balanced perspective on radiation and its medical use is developed. To reinforce mathematical concepts for the student, dozens of practice exercises are strategically dispersed throughout the chapters, with answer keys provided in the appendix. Extensive review questions at the end of each chapter give a thorough, comprehensive review of the material learned. The Instructor Resources for Radiography in the Digital Age, available on disc, includes the answer key for all chapter review questions and a bank of over 1500 multiple-choice questions for instructors use. It also includes 35 laboratory exercises, including 15 that demonstrate the applications of CR equipment.

Physics

This Student Workbook for Radiography in the Digital Age is specifically designed for in-classroom use with the series PowerPoint Slides for Radiography in the Digital Age. Together with the textbook itself and the Instructor Resources CD, these products complete a full package of educational resources tailored for radiography courses in the Physics of Radiography, Principles of Imaging, Digital Image Acquisition and Display, and Radiation Biology and Protection. The Workbook is organized throughout in a concise fill-in-the-blank format, focusing on key words to reinforce students retention of the material. The wording and sequencing of questions closely mirrors the PowerPoint Slide series for each course. This Workbook strikes a perfect balance between allowing the student to concentrate on the lecture by doing minimal writing while still challenging the student to participate in classroom learning. An effective note-taking tool, it also doubles as a reinforcement tool for homework and individual study.

Radiography in the Digital Age: Physics-Exposure-Radiation Biology.

The Instructor Resources to accompany Radiography in the Digital Age is designed to be an optimal resource for instructors. It includes a bank of well over 1450 multiple-choice questions for instructors use, covering at least four full courses in the typical radiography curriculum. Complete answer keys are provided for the multiple-choice question banks, as well as for all chapter review questions in the textbook. The manual also includes 15 laboratory exercises specifically demonstrating the applications of CR equipment, and 20 other laboratory exercises for equipment and radiation protection to enhance the student s learning experience. The laboratory exercises are carefully constructed to provide full guidance to the instructor and clear instructions to the student. Combined with the textbook, this valuable resource supports a state-of-the-art curriculum for radiography education in the digital age.
