There is no better book on the market for cross sectional anatomy. The book uses normal anatomy vs. pathology examples for every body part and major condition that would be visualized with CT imaging. Easy to read, high quality pictures are taken from real Siemens images and put alongside illustrations that label the anatomy.This book also gives outstanding guidelines for interpreting images. This would make it perfect for radiology or surgery residents.This book has impressed everyone in my department. Docs and techs alike been impressed by it. Its affordable, not too big and packed with great images.If you need a cross sectional anatomy text for CT Applications, look no further. Buy this book!!!
I found this by accident and anybody who is cross-trained into CT and wants to sit for the ARRT registry in CT should have this book. Learned more than any other book I have bought. I have spend over $600 on other recommended books and this is best by far
I have read Hofer's Ultrasound Teaching Manual, and the CT Teaching Manual is just as good. Easy to read, many nice pictures, helpful facts and not too expensive. Helpful if you read this with the Webb/Brant/Helms CT book.
I'm an X-ray Technologist studying for the CT state boards, This book has tons of useful information and just great up-to-date pictures that covers anatomy and pathology. I would however recommend on buying/borrowing a book that covers more on the principles and fundamentals of CT for beginners, due to the lack of explanations and some details on important/complex topics. I would also like to add that this should not be confused to be a pocket atlas...lol, This book is help you understand what your looking at IN GREAT DETAIL about cross-sectional images, kinda like as if you were the Radiologist (X-ray Physician).
As I plan to take my CT boards, I find this book is very helpful because it is only CT images. My other anatomy books combine both CT and MR images.It shows normal anatomy and pathology.This book was recommended by my CT instructor. I would highly recommend it. Co-workers think it's a great CT anatomy book too.
Very conflicted about this book. It is gearned more to the radiology resident than CT Technologist, in my opinion, and, the translation must have been done by a software program because the text was very difficult for me. Having said this, the line drawings and accompanying radiographs were helpful, but, not moreso than a good cross-sectional anatomy book.
Had this Book for awhile!!!! Techs and Future RPA's/RA's need this, you'll be smokin' with the knowledge acqired in this book! If you want to increase your professionalism, buy this book!!!! Must have for RT's as well!
Without any doubt this is the best CT Teaching Manual.Excellent introduction to physical and technical fundamentals of CT, it outlines the basic rules for reading CT examinations, administration of contrast agents, CT angiography and Radiation protection.It has more than 500 excellent pictures comparing anatomy vs pathology for all body sites. Has front and back cover folding pages with keys to all anatomical structures.I happened to find this book by chance - now it has become the standard reference book in my department. Five of my colleagues bought it within 3 months of my purchase. And most importantly it is easy on the wallet.
