Pathology for rad tech students

I found this to be excellent for pathology I needed to know for school and for the arrt exam. Other books that helped me tremendously for the arrt exam are (The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Questions and Answers) Volumes 1,2,3. Excellent review questions in these guides. These are must buys if you want to make your life easier.

Students take note!

As a student I found this book was invaluable for bridging the gap between theory and practice. Having learnt pathology and physiology the previous semester, I used the excellent pictures in Radiographic Pathology to prepare me for my first foray into the practical side of things. Much of our testing was picking pathology on images and thanks to this book I passed with flying colours.
