Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Heidi K. Wanta, BS (Froedtert Hospital)
Description: This study guide for the ARRT's mammography examination includes 450 ARRT-style questions plus two complete practice exams. It covers patient education, instrumentation, anatomy and physiology, pathology, image evaluation, mammography technique, and diagnostic, interventional, and treatment procedures.
Purpose: The purpose is to update the study guide to include the latest in digital imaging technology, digital quality assurance standards, special patient situations, breast pathology, treatment options, and breast reconstruction.
Audience: The audience includes radiologic technology students and licensed technologists who want to go into breast imaging.
Features: The book covers a variety of topics, including how to interact with and assess the patient, how to get good quality images, the important anatomy and physiology involved, the pathology to be aware of, and the type of diagnostic treatment that may be necessary. Well-done illustrations demonstrate how to evaluate images to determine if the radiologist will need more images. Each section includes a glossary of terms as well as pathology radiographs with informative descriptions. The answers to the questions, which appear in a separate section, include informative discussions about why a particular answer is correct.
Assessment: This would be very helpful to those preparing for the mammography boards. Students who have an interest in breast imaging also could use this to prepare for a rotation in breast imaging.
