CARVERS MEDICAL IMAGING 3ED (HB 2021) Hardcover

The third edition of Carvers' Medical Imaging guides radiography students in adopting a reflective, evidence-based approach to improve their practice. This comprehensive textbook covers a wide array of medical imaging methods and techniques, examining them in the context of imaging principles, radiation dose, patient condition, body areas, and pathologies. It encourages students to critically assess their work, rather than simply following procedures. Updated by a team of experts, this edition reflects advancements in radiographic techniques and the evolving role of the radiographer. It is an essential resource for students pursuing a BSc (Hons) in diagnostic radiography, foundation degrees in radiographic practice, Bachelor of Medicine programs, and postgraduates. The book offers a thorough, illustrated, and well-referenced exploration of all imaging techniques, including detailed image evaluation for radiographic exams, common errors, and the potential impact of these errors on diagnostic accuracy. New content includes sections on preliminary clinical evaluation for projection radiography, cross-infection considerations (post-COVID-19), and imaging children suspected of physical abuse, all aligning with UK professional standards.
