PREFACE

Get the essential information you need to master radiographic pathology! Radiographic Pathology for
Technologists, 8th Edition introduces the pathologic appearance of common diseases as seen in diagnostic
imaging. Organized by body system, the book uses a clear, easy-to-understand approach to discuss anatomy and
physiology, the pathologic process, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. This edition is
updated to reflect today’s radiography practice including diagnostic modalities such as CT, MR, sonography,
nuclear medicine, and fusion/hybrid imaging. From well-known radiologic and imaging sciences author Nina
Kowalczyk, this essential text also provides excellent preparation for the radiographic pathology portion of
the ARRT® credentialing exam.
