Designed for busy medical students, The Radiology Handbook is a quick and easy reference for any practitioner who needs information on ordering or interpreting images. The book is divided into three parts: - Part I presents a table, organized from head to toe, with recommended imaging tests for common clinical conditions. - Part II is organized in a question and answer format that covers the following topics: how each major imaging modality works to create an image; what the basic precepts of image interpretation in each body system are; and where to find information and resources for continued learning. - Part III is an imaging quiz beginning at the head and ending at the foot. Sixty images are provided to self-test knowledge about normal imaging anatomy and common imaging pathology. Published in collaboration with the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, The Radiology Handbook is a convenient pocket-sized resource designed for medical students and non radiologists.

In the past several years, the rapid development of sophisticated imaging modalities has made radiology the fastest growing specialty in medicine. It is important for the radiologic technologist to keep pace with technology's advancements. The influx of freestanding outpatient facilities and the demands of insurance companies, HMOs and third party reimbursement have brought about change. Medical facilities have begun to call upon nurses, surgical technicians, and other non-radiologic personnel to assist with patient positioning during surgical procedures requiring imaging-creating a need for a concise, how-to guide to performing surgical procedures. The Radiology Technologist's Handbook to Surgical Procedures provides a quick reference for using fluoroscopic and x-ray equipment during surgical procedures. This book includes detailed descriptions and photographs taken in actual clinical settings. By using this manual as a foundation, the radiologic technologist will be able to master many of the operating room x-ray procedures.

Formal training in radiology focuses on the identification and characterization of abnormality. Such skills are necessarily, but not sufficient to thrive in modern practice. One of the greatest predictors of professional satisfaction and overall productivity for radiologists is work efficiency – a skill not often formally taught. This book provides a comprehensive review of techniques that a radiologist may use to improve work speed, without compromising quality. Small differences across many domains (e.g., image analysis, reporting, and communication) add up to large differences in work efficiency. Topics covered in this text include (though are not limited to): Why Developing Efficiency is a Training Priority Overarching Principles in Improving Efficiency PACS Interface Optimization Overview of Effective Reporting Efficient Dictation Tips Macro Optimization Macro Special Functions and Organization Educational Preparation (For Residents and Fellows) Workflow Organization (For Attendings and Practices) Physiological and Cognitive Optimization Environmental Optimization Hardware Optimization AutoHotKey and Macro Scripting Automation, Informatics, and Other Efficiencies The Future of Radiologic Efficiency Even if a hundred of hours of education early in one's career were required to develop a 1% improvement in speed, our estimates suggest that this would produce a greater than 500% return on investment in reclaimed hours and compensation over time. Most trainees and radiologists are likely to achieve far greater (10-100%) improvements in speed with dedicated efforts. Not all variation in efficiency is easily modified. However, the strategies we discuss can help radiologists hone their abilities to the greatest extent possible. This book can be a useful guide on your journey in becoming the best – most accurate, thoughtful, and efficient – radiologist you can be.
