Radiography PREP: Program Review and Exam Prep

This book was my saving grace when I had to re-take my Radiology boards after many years of being out of the field. I practiced the tests daily for months. The questions were very similar to the type on the exam so I felt prepared and confident while taking the test. Multiple choice can be tricky and this book has an answer section that explains why the correct answer is the best choice. Couldn't have suceeded without this wonderful book.

This prep book completely breaks down the whole xray program, from start to finish. It is extremely helpful, and I would advise buying it in your first year so you can go through it during the program.

I was told there was a time when students didn't have to take certification tests in order to get a license. Well, those times are gone. Oh well. I'm glad this book exists. Saia's RADIOGRAPHY PREP has relevent chapters on what is tested on. They include chapters on radiation protection, patient care, radiographic procedures, etc. The patient positioning and imagaing procedures portion was clear. The book gave good directions on where the central ray is for each x-ray procedure, example PA Hand. For excellent review questions for exam preparation, I also recommend another needed reference such as Leonardi's THE ULTIMATE STUDY GUIDE FOR THE REGISTRY EXAMINATION IN RADIOGRAPHY: KEY REVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. ALL 3 of these volumes were helpful and valuable sources. Nevertheless, Saia has a very concise and precise way of explaining things like the differences between types of shields, technical factors such as OID and SID and image processing.

that's it !. everything you need for the registry exam is here .it's like taking all of the student program and puting it into this great book.a perfect mach for those who want to pass the exam first shot.altough pathology is not expanded in detail - but using the mosby's "radiographic pathology for technologists" , will do the job. the book makes you a master!, you pass the exam using it!.

This book was recommended by the Director of a local School for Radiographic Technology. I found the most current edition at AMASON.COM and another D.S. Saia book "Appleton & Lange's Review For The Radiography Examination, Fourth Edition." The "PREP" was essentional for my use, since I had been out of the field for 30 years. I became ARRT Registered in 1960 but dropped out in 1982. I have long wanted to return to the career I enjoyed most. This book brought me up to date quickly. I found it very comprehensive and current. It is most important to read and follow the KEY FEATURES AND USE information found in the Preface. The information in this book is extremely well organised and formated to make retention easy, especially with use of the MICROSTUDY disk with its chapter review tests and final exams. I actually enjoyed studying with these books. As evidence of their effectivenes, I passed the ARRT Exam with a 89, and am now employed full time as a Registered Radiologic Technologist.
