Here’s everything Physical Therapists need to know about medical imaging.

This comprehensive guide helps you develop the skills and knowledge you need to accurately interpret imaging studies and understand written reports. Lynn McKinnis, 2009 winner of APTA’s Helen J. Hislop Award for Outstanding Contributions to Professional Literature, guides you every step of the way.

Begin with a basic introduction to radiology; then progress to evaluating radiographs and advanced imaging from head to toe. Routine radiological and advanced imaging spreads for all joints illustrate how the image is recorded and how the patient is positioned as well as the anatomical and spatial relationships of each radiograph. Imaging for commonly seen traumas and pathologies, as well as case studies prepare you to meet the most common to complex challenges in clinical and practice.

As a bonus, you’ll find the ACR Appropriateness Criteria© online at DavisPlus.
