Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Heidi K. Wanta, BS (Froedtert Hospital)
Description: This set of flashcards reviews every aspect of radiologic technology with more than 1,000 questions and answers.
Purpose: Although designed to help students preparing to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) examination, the flashcards also could be used for study throughout coursework.
Audience: Students would get the greatest benefit from using these cards, but instructors could use them in class for study groups.
Features: The cards cover radiation protection, equipment operation, image acquisition, imaging procedures and patient care and education. Questions appear on one side of the cards, with the answers on the back. Perhaps the only thing missing is an explanation of why an answer is correct.
Assessment: Flashcards are a convenient way to review and study, with the questions and answers at your fingertips, and the larger size of the cards makes them easier to read. These can be used along with review books to prepare for the exam.
