Radiografi

This book acts as a primer for radiographers upon performing computed tomography (CT) examinations. The focus resides in radiation physics, radiobiology, anatomy, imaging protocols and image evaluation. It seeks to provide readers insight into the practical and innovative approaches within CT, backed up with key literature and examples in practice. Recent innovations and the importance of new technology to acquire enhanced quality remain a focal point. These are essential in understanding the importance of dose optimization, patient anatomy and common pathology observed. Patient care will remain central in this book, supported with a dedicated chapter discussing effective communication, patient education, informed consent, coupled with the assessment of laboratory results and vital signs. The editors draw from recent publications and clinical expertise, supported with the growing trend of technological advances utilized within the CT environment. Critically, this volume focuses on the role of CT for an array of audiences but, more specifically, undergraduate and postgraduate radiographers worldwide.

Master sonographic examination protocols and techniques! The market-leading ultrasound text and reference, Textbook of Diagnostic Sonography, 9th Edition provides an in-depth understanding of general/abdominal and obstetric/gynecologic sonography. More than 3,100 ultrasound images and full-color anatomy illustrations help you recognize normal anatomy and abnormal pathology. Organized primarily by body system, coverage includes vascular sonography and echocardiography, and in the obstetrics section features a chronologic, trimester approach to ultrasound during pregnancy. Written by expert medical sonography educator and clinician Sandra L. Hagen-Ansert, this resource serves as ideal preparation for board exams and as a reference for practitioners in many different clinical settings. Comprehensive coverage includes sections on the foundations of ultrasound imaging and patient care, the abdomen, superficial structures of the body, pediatrics, the thoracic cavity and echocardiography, cerebrovascular evaluation, gynecology, and obstetrics. More than 3,100 images and full-color illustrations include high-resolution ultrasound pictures, detailed line drawings with need-to-know anatomic information, color photographs of gross pathology, and color Doppler illustrations. Key Terms open each chapter, focusing your attention on the vocabulary that you are required to know and understand. Key Pearls highlight the important concepts in each chapter. Pathology tables summarize clinical findings, laboratory findings, sonographic findings, and differential considerations. Sonographic Findings icon makes it easy to locate clinical information on particular pathologic conditions. Imaging information in each chapter includes normal anatomy, normal physiology, laboratory data and values, pathology, sonographic evaluation of an organ, pitfalls in sonography, clinical findings, and differential considerations. Condensed bibliography at the end of each chapter lists essential references for further research and study. Resources on the Evolve website include review questions for students and PowerPoint® slides, an image collection, and a test bank with 1,625 questions for instructors. NEW! Updated images depict the latest advances in the field of sonography and help you prepare for ARDMS boards and for clinicals. NEW! Updated content reflects the newest curriculum standards so you gain the knowledge and expertise required to pass the boards.

Covering the entire spectrum of this fast-changing field, Diagnostic Imaging: Gynecology, third edition, is an invaluable resource for general radiologists, specialized radiologists, gynecologists, and trainees-anyone who requires an easily accessible, highly visual reference on today's gynecologic imaging. Drs. Akram Shaaban, Douglas Rogers, Jeffrey Olpin, and their team of highly regarded experts provide up-to-date information on recent advances in technology and the understanding of pathologic entities to help you make informed decisions at the point of care. The text is lavishly illustrated, delineated, and referenced, making it a useful learning tool as well as a handy reference for daily practice.

Projektarbejde i sundhedsvæsenet beskriver projektarbejde fra den gode idé til vellykket implementering. Der er fokus på sundhedsfagligt projektarbejde, hvor der typisk arbejdes med og for mennesker. Bogen rummer mange anvendelige råd, og den er praktisk i en travl klinisk hverdag, som er kendetegnet ved en særlig deltagerkultur og læringsforståelse.Bogen kan benyttes som en trin-for-trin-guide eller som opslagsværk i alle faser af et projekt. Den er skrevet til sundhedsprofessionelle i klinisk praksis – såvel til de studerende som til de mange færdiguddannede, der planlægger eller arbejder med projekter. Målet er at give læseren en lettilgængelig præsentation af de termer, begreber og redskaber, som er vigtige undervejs i et projekt.Projektarbejde i sundhedsvæsenet er opbygget om en gennemgående projektmodel, som er relevant i forskellige typer af projekter. Den kan bruges i mindre kliniske projekter med en kort tidshorisont og få deltagere, ligesom den er et godt redskab i større udviklingsprojekter, der løber over længere tid og går på tværs af en organisation.Bogen indeholder mange anvendelige skemaer og skabeloner, så læseren hurtigt og nemt kan kvalificere nye eller igangværende projekter med egne ord.

Studerende i sundhedsprofessionerne skal indføres i et repertoire af praktiske færdigheder, og uddannede sundhedsprofessionelle står kontinuerligt over for at skulle lære nye praktiske færdigheder, når de flytter klinisk felt, eller når nye procedurer kommer til i deres aktuelle kliniske praksis.Nogle praktiske færdigheder har lighed med hverdagslivets praktiske handlinger, mens andre er komplekse, specialiserede procedurer, der adskiller sig væsentligt fra hverdagslivets praktiske handlinger. Uanset procedurernes karakter kræver det omtanke og øvelse at få kvalitet i handlingerne, når de skal udføres professionelt og tilpasses forskellige patienter i forskellige sundhedsfaglige kontekster.Selv om praktiske færdigheder er forskellige, er der fælles træk mellem dem, som vigtige at kende. I bogen præsenteres et generisk instrument, der indfanger disse fællestræk, og som kan anvendes i vurdering af praktisk færdighedsudøvelse og til at strukturere læringen af nye praktiske færdigheder.Bogen henvender sig til alle de sundhedsfaglige professioner. Bogen er relevant for undervisere og vejledere, der skal støtte studerende og kolleger i at lære at udføre praktiske færdigheder. Ligeledes er bogen relevant for studerende, der står over for at skulle tilegne sig praktiske færdigheder knyttet til den sundhedsprofession, de uddanner sig til.Bogen rummer praktiske øvelser og opgaver, som kan anvendes i konkrete undervisningssituationer med såvel nybegyndere, nyuddannede som erfarne sundhedsprofessionelle.
