Following the success of the previous editions of this established text, Chesneys' Care of the Patient in Diagnostic Radiography has been thoroughly revised and updated, reflecting the many changes in the profession and in its educational provision. The seventh edition advocates a holistic approach to patient care, which radiographers and radiologic technologists will 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 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.

Patient Care in Radiography helps you acquire and refine both the technical and interpersonal skills you need to provide quality patient care in the clinical environment. Because patient care is involved in virtually every aspect of imaging, high-quality patient care is just as important as your competent performance of procedures. In Patient Care in Radiography, patient care is integrated with procedural skills throughout the text, ensuring that you know how to provide the best care for every patient you encounter. Skills that are imperative for quality patient care in radiography, such as safety, transfer, and positioning; infection control; and patient assessment are emphasized. You'll find full coverage of introductory topics, as well as key information on microbiology, emerging diseases, transcultural communication, ECGs, administration of medications, and bedside radiography.

With chapters from globally recognized academics, General Radiography shows the multifaceted approach to general radiography and how it enhances healthcare delivery. Potentially influential to how healthcare delivery is offered, it begins with the pertinent chapters examining image acquisition and dose optimization in diagnostic radiography. Next, chapters reflect and critically discuss aspects central to patient care, and imaging within trauma, critical care and pediatric situations. The final section of this book then explores the learning, teaching and education in the field of diagnostic radiography, with novel strategies illustrated.

A practical clinically relevant introduction to diagnostic radiology Introduction to Basic Radiology is written to provide non-radiologists with the level of knowledge necessary to order correct radiological examinations, improve image interpretation, and enhance their interpretation of various radiological manifestations. The book focuses on the clinical scenarios most often encountered in daily practice and discusses practical imaging techniques and protocols used to address common problems. Relevant case scenarios are included to demonstrate how to reach a specific diagnosis. Introduction to Basic Radiology is divided into ten chapters. The first two chapters provide basic information on various diagnostic imaging techniques and control agents. Each of the following chapters discuss imaging of specific organ systems and begin with a description of the imaging modality of choice and illustrates the relevant features to help simplify the differential diagnosis. You will also find important chapters on pediatric radiology and women's imaging. Unlike other introductory texts on the subject, this book treats diagnosis from a practical point of view. Rather than discuss various diseases and classify them from the pathologic standpoint, Introduction to Basic Radiology utilizes cases from the emergency room and physician's offices and uses a practical approach to reach a diagnosis. The cases walk you through a radiology expert’s analysis of imaging patterns. These cases are presented progressively, with the expert's thinking process described in detail. The cases highlight clinical presentation, clinical suspicion, modality of choice, radiologic technique, and pertinent imaging features of common disease processes.

Implementing safety practices in healthcare saves lives and improves the quality of care: it is therefore vital to apply good clinical practices, such as the WHO surgical checklist, to adopt the most appropriate measures for the prevention of assistance-related risks, and to identify the potential ones using tools such as reporting & learning systems. The culture of safety in the care environment and of human factors influencing it should be developed from the beginning of medical studies and in the first years of professional practice, in order to have the maximum impact on clinicians' and nurses' behavior. Medical errors tend to vary with the level of proficiency and experience, and this must be taken into account in adverse events prevention. Human factors assume a decisive importance in resilient organizations, and an understanding of risk control and containment is fundamental for all medical and surgical specialties. This open access book offers recommendations and examples of how to improve patient safety by changing practices, introducing organizational and technological innovations, and creating effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable care systems, in order to spread the quality and patient safety culture among the new generation of healthcare professionals, and is intended for residents and young professionals in different clinical specialties.
