Book Synopsis Patient Centered Care in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy by : Aarthi Ramlaul

Download or read book Patient Centered Care in Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy written by Aarthi Ramlaul. This book was released on 2013-03-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health investigation and treatment have moved from a clinician-centred approach to a patient-centred approach during the past few decades. Patients are now rightly regarded as empowered and informed users of health services, not passive recipients. Motivated by this philosophical shift, this new book identifies the key issues underpinning the complete delivery of ‘good’ patient care and considers their application in the medical radiation sciences. Taking a UK/European perspective, the authors examine how a holistic approach is related to legislation, human rights and perceived patient needs. Medical imaging and radiotherapy are front line services experienced by vast numbers of patients with acute and chronic medical conditions, including trauma and cancer. The book includes coverage of behavioural science and health psychology together with practical applications such as safe manual handling, infection control and radiation safety. This provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of what contributes to the patient’s experience in diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy. It also considers other aspects of the patient experience, such as inter-professional team working, disability, communication, clinical procedures and practice.

Download or read book Medical Imaging for the Health Care Provider written by Theresa M. Campo, DNP, FNP-C, ENP-BC, FAANP. This book was released on 2023-09-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AJN award winner! This is a concise, easy-to-use reference, enabling health care providers to identify and understand how and when to use the full scope of medical imaging testing modalities-- radiographs, CTs, nuclear imaging, and ultrasound scans and images. The new second edition features a more in-depth discussion of each modality with a focus on the foundational concepts of radiography interpretation of the chest, abdomen, extremities, and spine. It expands coverage of imaging and increases the number of images provided for a total of 400. In addition, the Springer Connect website includes dozens of videos to greatly enhance the learning process. With clear descriptions of each modality—supported by figures, tables, and actual patient films—the text guides readers through the clinical decision-making process. It describes how to choose the best diagnostic test to assess a presenting condition, and examines interpretations of plain radiographs of the chest, abdomen, extremities, and spine. The book fosters an in-depth understanding of the differences between modalities, their attributes, and an appreciation for their parameters with age-appropriate considerations. To assist health care practitioners with the challenges of interpreting plain radiographs, the book simplifies this process with an incremental approach to correct interpretation of what appears on the radiograph and understanding the rationale behind the interpretation. New to the Second Edition: In-depth discussions of different medical imaging testing modality, with a focus on foundational concepts of radiology interpretation of the chest, abdomen, extremities, and spine Exploration of similarities and differences between modalities Over 400 images Accompanying videos Key Features: Addresses the basics of radiology, CT scans, nuclear imaging, MRIs, and ultrasound and their characteristics and differences Provides a step-by-step approach to interpretation of radiographs Guides in the selection of the correct diagnostic test Supports information with figures, tables, images, and films Useful to a wide range of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other providers in multiple settings The reader may also access the images and drawings found in this text at springerpub.com/campo-medical-imaging.

Book excerpt: A prize-winning medical writer offers an explanation of modern diagnostic medical imaging technologies—and the issues that result from their use and misuse. Medical Imaging describes the discovery and development of diagnostic imaging technologies, explaining how the technologies work and exploring some of the issues that such powerful and expensive technologies create. The book begins with the discovery of X-rays in 1895 and traces the history of imaging technology through today's tools, such as X-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional imaging by positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The contribution of these expensive technologies to the rising cost of healthcare in the United States and the unequal distribution of imaging diagnostic facilities, particularly in developing countries, is also considered. In addition, the book explores ethical questions that have surfaced in the past, including the reportability of incidental findings during a scan and admissibility of medical images as evidence in courts of law , and such newly emerging issues as the application of imaging tools in lie detection and the mammography guidelines controversy of 2009.
