Get the essential information you need to master radiographic pathology! Kowalczyk's Pathology for Imaging Technologists, Ninth Edition, introduces the pathologic appearance of common diseases as seen in diagnostic imaging. Organized by body system, this reference uses a clear, easy-to-understand approach to discuss anatomy and physiology, the pathologic process, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. It also provides excellent preparation for the radiographic pathology portion of the ARRT® credentialing exam.
Key Features
- NEW! Information on COVID is added to the Respiratory System chapter and current culture references are incorporated throughout
- NEW! Content reflects the latest ARRT and ASRT content specifications
- UPDATED! Organization arranges information so technique changes are based on disease
- Essential level of coverage right sized for shorter pathology course presents approximately 150 injuries and abnormalities most frequently diagnosed using medical imaging, with a focus on the pathologic conditions you are most likely to encounter in practice
- Summary tables at the ends of chapters provide a quick review of the pathologies covered and the preferred imaging modalities for diagnosis
- Correlative and differential diagnosis discussions explain the diagnostic process and demonstrate the importance of high-quality images
- Standard pedagogy includes chapter outlines and objectives, key terms, and multiple-choice and discussion questions for each chapter (answers provided online on Evolve)

Book Reviews
"The purpose of this book is to give radiologic technology students a broad overview of pathologies they will encounter as technologists. Every unit has clear objectives that help define and describe each pathology.... [It] will be most useful for students in conjunction with instruction.... [It] covers each system in a logical manner starting with an anatomy review, covering imaging modalities used, and then an in-depth coverage of several pathologies.... The introductory chapter has excellent updated images and charts. It is an excellent review of terminology, biology terms used later in the chapters, and a breakdown of the etiologies that follow each system. Each chapter has detailed images, both in radiographic form and in diagrams. Every chapter lists charts including a pathologic summary.... would benefit greatly from adding a technique part to these charts to discuss additive and subtractive disease.... an excellent resource for radiology technology students to utilize to meet their pathology ARRT criteria."
