We had multiple rotations while in school. A lot of the time there was little to know warning what all went on in each modality. "Oh my goodness! I'm so nervous. What do they even DO in the Cath Lab????" Comments like that will be eased with this book. There are short concise overviews of things that go on in special modalities. Very helpful.

For anyone who is a student of a radiography program and looking to specialize this is a great book. Very detailed and gives you many options for your future!

it gives a great insight on what you need to know as a special procedure tech. it's not confusing and easy to understand

It's probably more the subject matter than anything else that makes this books simply okay and not a real page turner.

My book came completely deteriorated. In at least three sections falling apart.

Exactly what I needed! In great shape!
