Review Questions for the Board Examinations

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book prepares students and technologists for registry examinations in nuclear medicine technology by providing practice questions and answers and a mock registry exam. The questions test both subject comprehension of material and practical applications. The topics covered closely follow the content specifications for the exam given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist and the components of preparedness published by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board. Figure-related questions, similar to those on current registry examinations, are provided. Also included are up-to-date questions and answers regarding NRC regulations.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the third edition:

"This edition includes new questions to address the latest changes in the board examinations and the FDA approved radiopharmaceuticals. Students, both medically qualified and those studying for the technologists' examination, will find the book excellent for revision. At less than GBP 20, it should be on the bookshelf of every imaging department." RAD Magazine, January, 2006

"This is an update of a review for those wishing to take the nuclear medicine technology boards. ... Students in nuclear medicine technology are the intended audience. ... Answers are provided for the questions along with explanations. ... This one is very well written and a great tool for those wanting to take the NMTCB and/or the ARRT (N) exams." (Ann Voslar, Doody's Review Services, January, 2009)
