Overview
Torres' Patient Care in Imaging Technology (10th Edition) by Ryan is a core text in radiography and medical imaging programs, focused on the patient-care skills radiographers need alongside their technical training. This study guide is built to follow the textbook chapter by chapter, from an introduction to radiography and student success through professional issues, patient assessment and communication, patient care and safety, and infection control. It also reviews vital signs and oxygen administration, pediatric and geriatric imaging, medical emergencies, trauma and mobile imaging, contrast and procedure-specific care, aseptic technique, pharmacology for the radiographer, drug administration and venipuncture, ECG monitoring, and advanced modalities. The goal is to help you review high-yield patient-care content the way it is tested on program exams and the way it appears on the ARRT registry, without rereading the whole book.
Aligned with radiography and medical imaging patient-care courses; supports program exams and preparation for the patient-care section of the ARRT registry examination.
