Gain a full understanding of the basic principles and techniques of digital imaging! Using an easy-to-understand format and style, Digital Radiography and Imaging Informatics provides the latest information on digital imaging and medical image management and processing system (MIMPS, formerly PACS). It offers tips on producing clear radiographic images, and helps you build skills in computed radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR), as well as MIMPS. Coverage also includes quality control and management guidelines for MIMPS, CR, and DR. Written by noted educators Christi Carter and Beth Veale, this book provides excellent preparation for the ARRT credentialing exam, as a reference for the CIIP exam, and for success as a practicing technologist.
