CT Study GroupTammie's
CT Study Group
is well organized, easy to navigate, and highly
recommended for CT Techs who would like to share information, before
taking their CT boards. Tammie states: "I developed the website and forum for two reasons, one
was to help me study, and two was to hopefully help others in the field
needing to take their exams. I am also pulling together small study
groups because not everyone likes to utilize computers and there are
many learning styles and techniques."

Search Engine This free online program
allows to search radiology contents, especially radiology journals
(even all medical journals), radiology cases and teaching files,
even single radiological images, radiology news, books, societies,
vendors and products. A search for CME opportunities is also
offered. Access to almost all radiology journals and their
websites/contents is also available. It's free to use, therefore I
think the broad radiological audience should be made aware of this
great tool.

3 Volume Set, Philip W. Ballinger,
Eugene D. Frank,
Vinita Merrill. Widely recognized as
the gold standard of positioning texts, this highly-regarded,
comprehensive resource features more than 400 projections and
excellent full-color illustrations augmented by MRI images for added
detail to enhance the anatomy and positioning presentations. In
three volumes, it covers preliminary steps in radiography, radiation
protection, and terminology, as well as anatomy and positioning
information in separate chapters for each bone group or organ
system. High-quality images of commonly requested projections, as
well as those less commonly requested, show the reader how to
properly position the patient so the resulting radiograph provides
information needed to correctly diagnose the problem. Information is
also provided on a variety of special imaging modalities and
situations, including mobile radiography, operating room
radiography, computed tomography, cardiac catheterization, magnetic
resonance imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine technology, bone
densitometry, positron emission tomography, and radiation therapy. Pocket Guide to RadiographyThis handy pocket companion
concisely presents radiographic essentials in a quick reference
format ideal for the clinical setting. Bulleted, step-by-step
explanations illustrate how to position the patient for 190 of the
most common radiographic projections. Unique to this pocket guide is
the inclusion of computed radiography information. The guide leaves
space for the user to make notes needed for easy access in the
practice setting.
