Book Overview

This brand new combination text and workbook provides instruction in the ASRT required curriculum areas of pharmacology and drug administration procedures with a broad application to all the imaging technologies. It discusses pharmacology and drug administration and the ethical and legal issues involved. It includes chapters on drug nomenclature and classification, pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics, pharmacodynamics, classification of contrast agents, drug administration routes, and intravenous drug administration techniques, as well as special chapters on emergency pharmacology with emergency responses to drug reactions and conscious sedation and other relevant pharmacology. This text offers useful instructional features such as objectives, key terms, step-by-step procedures, case studies, exercises, and review questions.

* Combination text and workbook makes this sometimes difficult to comprehend information accessible to students and practitioners. * Clearly written text and useful tables of drug pharmacodynamics, classification, and chemistry, especially radiopaque contrast media, assists readers in understanding the cellular and systemic effects of drugs. * In-depth study of drug pharmacokinetics describes the manner in which drugs are absorbed, metabolized, distributed, and eliminated for a better understanding of drug doses and interactions. * Detailed drug administration descriptions prepare students to perform or assist with procedures in the clinical environment. * Complete coverage of emergency procedures prepares imaging technologists for treating adverse reactions following drug administration.
