Patient Care and Professional Practice: For Radiologic Imaging, Advanced Modalities, and Allied Health Professionals (Quantum Imaging Lab ARRT Exam Preparation Library)

Preparing for the ARRT Radiography Registry Examination — or looking for a patient care textbook that reflects how healthcare professionals learn and retain information?
Patient Care and Professional Practice is a comprehensive patient care textbook designed for radiologic technology students, practicing imaging professionals, and educators seeking a clinically relevant, ARRT-aligned resource for patient care education.
Unlike traditional textbooks that present patient care as lengthy chapters, this book uses a structured Microlearning approach that breaks complex concepts into focused learning units designed to improve comprehension, retention, clinical application, and exam readiness.
Written by Sanjay Arya, M.S., R.T.(R)(MR)(ARRT), MRSO — a radiologic technology educator, author, and founder of Quantum Imaging Lab — this textbook contains 25 sequential Microlearning units organized into seven clinically integrated sections aligned with ARRT Radiography Examination Content Specifications.
