PRACTICAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGY: A Complete Guide to Radiographic Procedures, Patient Care, Digital Radiology Systems, and Health Informatics for Radiologic Technologists

Every rotation throws a new room, a new modality, and a patient who needs you to get it right the first time. Textbooks that stop at bone anatomy leave you unprepared for the PACS outage, the combative trauma patient, or the CT protocol question a radiologist expects you to answer without hesitation.

This 2026 clinical reference closes that gap. Across twenty-five chapters you will build a working command of x-ray production and radiation physics, digital detector technology, PACS and DICOM informatics, positioning for every body region, fluoroscopy and contrast procedures, CT and MRI fundamentals, mammography, pediatric and geriatric adaptations, trauma imaging, and the regulatory and ethical framework of the profession.

• Over 45 clinical illustrations with precisely labeled anatomy, equipment, and workflow diagrams
• Case-centered chapters built around real patient scenarios that evolve as new findings emerge
• A companion video course of more than 50 curated lectures, accessible instantly by scanning the QR code on the final page
• Clinical pearls, troubleshooting logic, and quick-reference tables in every chapter

Practical Imaging Technology was written for the technologist who wants to understand why a technique works, not just how to perform it. Whether you are preparing for ARRT certification, starting your first clinical rotation, or sharpening skills after years on the floor, this 2026 edition gives you a reference built for the room you actually work in.
