Saia, D. A. (2018). Lange Q & A Radiography Examination. (12th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw Hill Education. ISBN-13: 9781260460445. 

Students will use the Blackboard learning management system for instructions, course work, submitting quizzes, synchronous class collaboration, and referencing schedules for the Carm lab and any other necessary documents needed for coursework. 

Clover Learning - RadTech Boot Camp software will be used for weekly quiz/assignments. 

The course textbook should be used in conjunction with the texts you already have in addition to any notes, projects and other information provided for you over the past four and a half (4.5) semesters. The review book is an excellent way to test your overall knowledge, but do not rely on it solely for the answers. If you feel you have found an error in the book, please bring it to our attention. As a part of your course enhancement, various computer software to help strengthen weak areas are available. We encourage all students to take advantage of the information to prepare for the Registry. 

A recommended text is Mosby’s Comprehensive Review of Radiography: The Complete Study Guide and Career Planner”- 8th edition By William J. Callaway.
