Summary

This review book is designed for use by students as a study guide throughout their radiography education, but especially in their second year as they prepare to take the registry exam. It offers a comprehensive review, in outline form, of all major subject areas covered on the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT) exam in radiography. In many radiography programs such a review is part of a specific course while in other programs it is considered independent study, and students are provided with a list of recommended books. Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Radiography, 3rd Edition, provides review information, question and answer sections, two mock registry exams in the text and two more on the disk, information on preparing resumes, interviewing and career planning in one comprehensive resource. Students who need to write resumes and prepare for interviews can find the guidance they need in this resource. The book also contains actual examples of resumes and cover letters for radiographers with and without previous college education.
