Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy Book

This radiography text focuses on about 200 of the most commonly performed radiographic exams, featuring a clear, easy-to-follow organization. It presents positioning and projection information in an easy-to-read, bulleted format on one side of the page spread, with corresponding positioning photos, radiographic images and anatomical drawings on the other side. Expert content covers pathology, geriatric and pediatric patient populations, survey information, and 100 new positioning photographs for the latest in radiographic positioning. The 6th edition contains a new chapter on digital imaging, and digital imaging information is incorporated where appropriate throughout the book. New photographs and redrawn illustrations create a consistent, visual appearance throughout the book. * Positioning chapters are organized with one projection per page, presenting all the information readers need to know about each projection ? from technical factors, to patient positioning, to radiographic evaluation criteria. * Unique "show-and-tell" presentation shows positioning photos, radiographic images, and anatomical drawings side-by-side with the text explanation of the procedure to promote comprehension and retention of material. * One-of-a-kind anatomical line drawings accompany each radiograph to encourage understanding rather than rote memorization of positions, angles, and CR locations and help readers know how to adapt positioning routines as needed. * Critique Radiographs in each chapter demonstrate positioning errors. * Anatomical drawings and photographs are presented in full color.Read More
