There are always new drugs, contrast media, radionuclides, and techniques on the market and new information available about existing products. The available information seems endless, and it is a tremendous challenge to acquire enough knowledge to be a safe practitioner. We have made every effort to make the content very current by including discussions of contemporary and traditional medications and contrast media, common problems, up-to-date regulations, legal issues for technologists administering drugs, and
emergency pharmacology. Particular attention has been paid to intravenous introduction of contrast media, drug nomenclature, and the physiologic processes responsible for drug actions.
