"This book fills an immense need within the CT technologist education genre. There are many books on CT for techs: physics, imaging anatomy and case studies, and scanning primers. There are fewer that take the express role of a hands-on, practical, day-to-day training guide in addition to ensuring that all the key safety and patient care principles are followed. The need became very clear to us in practice as we worked very hard to train many x-rays and nuclear medicine technologists to become CT certified and, more importantly, become expert technologists who can think on the fly, ask their radiologists the right questions, and in all cases help use fundamental principles to improve imaging protocols, contrast bolus timing, radiation dose monitoring management, and post-processing. To be comprehensive Isidor has included our well tested curriculum, which we certainly recommend. In addition, there is great primary material for learning and future reference."
