Resources
This list of resources is designed to help educators sample the pool of available references and study materials that pertain to medical imaging. The resources list should be viewed as a snapshot of available materials. Omission of any one title is not intentional. Because the body of literature and media related to the field is dynamic, educators are encouraged to search additional sources for recent updates, revisions and additions to this collection.
