"This book fills an immense need within the CT technologist education genre. There are many books on CT for techs: physics, imaging anatomy and case studies, and scanning primers. There are fewer that take the express role of a hands-on, practical, day-to-day training guide in addition to ensuring that all the key safety and patient care principles are followed. The need became very clear to us in practice as we worked very hard to train many x-rays and nuclear medicine technologists to become CT certified and, more importantly, become expert technologists who can think on the fly, ask their radiologists the right questions, and in all cases help use fundamental principles to improve imaging protocols, contrast bolus timing, radiation dose monitoring management, and post-processing. To be comprehensive Isidor has included our well tested curriculum, which we certainly recommend. In addition, there is great primary material for learning and future reference." Payam Massaband, M.D. Clinical Associate Professor of Radiology Chief, Radiology Service, VA Palo Alto Health Care System This book is intended for learning radiologic technology on OJT, on volunteer status, preparing to take the CT certification exam, and teaching facility mentors (experienced employees or supervisors). It contains material intended for educational purposes only and uses in conjunction with any CT reviewer workbook to enhance the experience of learning. There are 5 chapters in this book: Chapter 1, "Structured 3 Months Daily CT On-the-Job Training for Radiologic Technologist, consists of 3 Months of Daily Training Syllabus, 5 Days a Week for 12 Weeks", contains 4 training modules. Chapter 2, "Understanding the Equipment and the Technologist's Role", contains 6 reading modules. Chapter 3, "Tricks of the Trade and Tips for Safe CT Scans While Developing Good Habits and Muscle Memory", contains 6 reading modules. Chapter 4, "CT Procedure Overview and Sectional Anatomy - Identification of Body Landmarks, Blood vessels, Organs, and Image Anomalies: Foreign Objects or Image Artifacts", contains 5 image modules. Chapter 5 "Pop Quizzes from Reading Modules in Chapter Three, Chapter Four and Image Modules in Chapter Five" contains 13 modules topics with 25 questions per module topic. Isidor Jardin R.T.
