Bone Densitometry For Technologists

Sydney Lou Bonnick, MD, FACP, and Lori Ann Lewis, MRT, CDT, have updated and expanded their highly praised Bone Densitometry for Technologists to reflect the latest standards and developments in the field. Here radiologic technologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and dedicated densitometry technologists can find new guidelines for bone density testing, new therapies for osteoporosis, and new treatment guidelines for osteoporosis, as well as new chapters on pediatric densitometry, body composition assessments, and the use of skeletal morphometry in diagnosis and fracture risk prediction. A companion CD contains the Precision Calculator Companion for automatically calculating short-term precision, least significant change and statistical confidence, and a new continuing education test for 15 hours of Category A American Society of Radiologic Technologists' credit.
