Computed Tomography

Summary: NOT beneficial for CT Licensing Exam
Review: This book is strictly about the mechanics and physics behind computed tomography. This information is only a portion (and not the largest) of the national exam. Additionally, within the first two chapters I found several errors in the chapter information versus the post "examinations." This does not provide allot of confidence in preparing for the exam. I discarded this book and purchased study materials through an online source geared to medical imaging and CT. I did pass the examination!

Summary: Contradicting book
Review: This study guide appears to be helpful at first. However, as one gets further along in the book, contradictions appear all over the place. In chapter 5 the author states that "z-axis resolution is reduced with spiral CT", but six pages later in the practice test, the correct answer is z-axis resolution is improved with spiral CT. What gives? Shame on the authors and editors for releasing a study guide that confuses as much as educates. I guess they were too busy counting their dollars to care.
