2nd ed. 2019 Edition
by Daniel J. Mollura (Editor), Melissa P. Culp (Editor), Matthew P. Lungren (Editor)
Exploring the question as to why more than half the world continues
to have little or no access to medical imaging and radiology, this
important second edition, fully revised and expanded, offers not only
answers but practical solutions, providing new tools, ideas, and
strategies for bringing vital radiology to low-resource areas. Based on
RAD-AID’s ten years of work (2008-2018) serving indigent communities
around the world, the book’s interdisciplinary approach offers the
synthesis of business management, government policy formulation,
clinical methods, and engineering in order to integrate economic
development, technology innovation, clinical model planning, educational
strategies, and public health measures. The gold-standard title in the
field, Radiology in Global Health, 2nd Edition is
intended for a broad audience, including physicians (especially
radiologists and radiology residents), radiology technologists,
radiology nurses, sonographers, hardware/software engineers,
policy-makers, business leaders, researchers, and public health
specialists at all levels who use or implement health care services for
underserved populations. In addition, as health care providers use
radiology in the process of clinical decision-making, this title is also
designed for clinical physicians, nurses, nurse-practitioners,
physician assistants, and paramedical personnel. Administrators and
public health personnel will also be interested, as the planning of
radiology services for health care systems at both the facility level
and at the population level requires a clear understanding of the
technological challenges and management opportunities.
