comprehensive radiographic pathology, definitely.

"Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology" is a very good text which I used for studying for the national registry exam. I also looked over, "The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography." These had key questions that showed me what to know.

Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology

This book is a valuable educational tool. It has the information to assist the technologist in recognizing what they see, or in planning the exam to find suspected pathology.
