Really easy to read for a textbook, on Chapter 5 now. It gives good advice on how to succeed as a rad tech student and future rad tech as well. Has tons of information about healthcare. Great first book, I'm starting the rad tech program in a week.
Ready to get excited about a career in radiologic technology? Don't read this book! It reads like an owner's manual. Many times I found myself finishing a paragraph, barely awake, wondering what the heck these authors are talking about, and went to Wikipedia to find a superior explanation of the topic. Unfortunately, this book was required reading for my Rad Tech 101 class. If you need it for a class, do yourself a favor and a get a used copy of the older edition for a couple of dollars. Don't waste your money on a new copy of this book.
Has heavy hightlighting and underlining but I knew that prior to buying it. Otherwise a great book and I cannot wait to start my program
When I got the book, the covers and pages were not bent or ripped or stained. There was highlighting on the pages though. The book has a general over view over all the aspects of radiologic technology. It's a good intro book!
Great book and really helpful information! It had a lot of great visuals and insight on the different options in this field.
It's very good I had some time to read it before I purchase it.Now, I will order it thanks for the author .
It work perfect for three clases that I took. Very easy to understand. A few errors but not to worry about.
The book is better than I expected. It came when it was supposed to.
