This revised and updated text reflects the many changes in the radiography profession and in its educational provision. This edition advocates a holistic approach to patient care which radiographers and radiologic techologists should find helpful in a wide range of departments concerned with diagnostic radiography. The opening chapter describes a conceptual framework of patient care, and outlines two versions of a model of the radiographic process. Other new areas covered include: complementary imaging modalities, caring for acutely ill patients and medico-legal issues. The design and organization of a department, including the impact of advances in information technology, are also given consideration.
