5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't be any happier with the material covered
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2017
Verified Purchase
I bought this book about a week before starting a new job in which I'd be responsible for both plain radiography and CT. I couldn't be any happier with the material covered. It's written from a technologists point of view, and goes indepth about the basics and theory of computed tomography. I've seen a couple of complaints about it lacking step by step instructions for exams, but this will vary a little depending on your hospitals protocol and what type of equipment you're using. Honestly, once you have an understanding of the fundamentals, which this book covers well, it makes learning the exams a lot easier because you actually understand what you're doing and why you're doing it in a particular order. The section on cross-section anatomy is fantastic. I've used it many nights when I was slow to compare it to exams done previously in the day. Very informative, I highly recommend this text for anyone wanting to learn CT.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Will Get You a Passing Grade
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2017

I have been working as a CT tech for about 10 months (rad tech for 4 years). I just took and (passed with a 93) the CT registry last week. I primarily used this text and its companion review book, studying assiduously for about two months. I felt the content was very well tailored for the exam, and credit my passing score to the content of this text, as well as the companion book, with its access to hundreds on online test questions available with its purchase. I also completed another text, the Mosby book, but honestly found it less organized, short on explanatory details, and over-emphasizing areas not covered in the registry. I will say the access to online mock tests and questions alone probably makes the Mosby book a worthwhile investment. Bottom line: find a system and study it until you can answer all questions in your sleep. Hope this helps.

Great book. It breaks down all the categories you need to know very well. I had to buy this for my CT school, and it was the only book we had to buy since it's all inclusive! When you only need one book for a year... that's always a plus. Do the questions in the back after each chapter! I will say, though, that you'll most likely want a dedicated review book for your boards to study from along with this. I recommend Mosby's Exam Review.

Great review book. I had to purchase this book for my CT class. I purchased the red book to go online with this. Passed CT registry using this book and Mosby. The anatomy in this book is very use for the Mosby exam but the Mosby has a lot of review questions and is a great review book. If using these two books together, you'll pass the registry with no trouble.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Self Study
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014

I used this book to study for my boards exam for CT certification. Doing everything self-guided (as opposed to going to school) was very stressful, but this book is simply written yet very thorough. When it came time for the boards exam I was super stressed; as the test date approached I was using this text to really cram. I did have a little help from a sample bottle of  NueroNRG – Mental Focus and Energy Supplement  - I included the link for anyone who might need a little help staying focused and clear-headed. I was cool as a cucumber when I sat for my exam, and passed by a very comfortable margin. This text was a great resource and I highly recommend it to anyone working towards a CT certification.

After spending a lot of money on several well known on-line courses, I decided to make the investment in this text and the accompanying text book. What a wise decision I made! I have found that the on-line courses are expensive and lack scholarly support/ references to the material presented. The material in these textbooks is concise, consistent and reliable. I highly recommend that you spend your hard-earned dollars here and forget about the on-line courses.

Romans is a good book with many concepts about Computed Tomography. The text is written in a way that it is easy to understand without all the extra stuff you dont need. There are many extra things this book has to help you understand the material (pictures, graphs, small take away points in each chapter, questions to help you review). I would recommend this book to anyone going to school for Computed Tomography or for someone who is cross training.

A very clear and comprehensive text. I did not read the whole book to study for my boards, but did use it to further explore topics that I felt were not well covered in the Mosby's book. I also went to a seminar by rad prof media and this was one of the books he recommended.

the book is used.
I paid it like it was new.
I can not use the online insights of the book because the code is scratched and is already registered by another person.
Moreover the book is damaged in some pages.
I'm not satisfied at all!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Computed Tomography for Technologists: A Comprehensive Text
Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2013
Verified Purchase
I thnk this textbook is the best one that I have used to study Computed Tomography. It is very easy to understand as it is written in a tutorial style using, "key concept" boxes to emphasize points made in the text. Each body part has a chapter that displays various images and a separate chapter with text, explaining the anatomy of that body part and how to perform the related CT exam. There is a wealth of information including basic principles of CT, patient care, injection techniques and contrast agents.
This textbook is essential if you are interested in reading or studying computed tomography. It is paperback and easy to take with you.

This is an ideal book for a radiographer beginning CT training. Written in terminology designed for radiographers not medics. Excellent.

The quality of the book was just as advertised. From what I know is that this is THE textbook for CT. Though it may be required, the organization of the text isn't the best. The author does go all over the place but the explanations are simple and easy to understand.
