Product Description
Focusing on one projection per page, Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy, 7th Edition includes all of the positioning and projection information you need to know in a clear bulleted format. Positioning photos, radiographic images, and anatomical images, along with projection and positioning information, help you visualize anatomy and produce the most accurate images. With over 200 of the most commonly requested projections, this text includes all of the essential information for clinical practice.Radiographic Critique points out positioning errors to help you produce more accurate images. Pathologic Indications list and define common pathologies to help you produce radiographs that make diagnosis easier for the physician. Pediatric Applications and Geriatric Applications prepare you to deal with the needs of special populations, with information on exposure factors, positioning and shielding, and more. Alternative Modalities or Procedures explain how additional projections or imaging modalities can supplement general radiographic exams best demonstrate specific anatomy or pathology. Radiographic Criteria for each projection provide standards for evaluating the quality of each radiograph and help you produce the highest quality images. Pathology Demonstrated explains why a projection is needed or what pathology is demonstrated and provides you with a greater understanding of the reasoning behind each projection. Over 150 new positioning photos and updated radiographic images provide the latest information for producing accurate images.Labeled radiographs identify key radiographic anatomy and landmarks to help you easily identify anatomy. More content on digital radiography describes cutting-edge developments in digital technology, including digital imaging quality factors, CR/DR exposure, and more.

Best Text Book For Radiographic Positioning Classes One and Two! by J. Brock (Northern Michigan)

I graduated back in 2004 from Baker College of Owosso's Radiology Technology Program and we used this textbook. This textbook is great for an easy understanding of anatomy and radiographic exams. The one-page exam layouts are very efficient, and again easy to comprehend. It will come very handy too, later on, when you've graduated and end up pulling it out for those rare exams you do, maybe one or two times a year, (Cough), Mastoids! (Laugh). So please, do not throw it in the trash or give it back to your bookstore! When I was in my clinical setting, I worked along side with other students from a different program. They were very jealous of my one large textbook, compared to their 3 large textbooks! Apparently their text was divided amongst three volumes, crazy! Anyhow, I would definitely recommend this text for any student and for any program that is presently not using it. The workbook is a great addition with reinforcing the material, so I would definitely recommend getting both. Good luck to all you future Radiographers out there. -J.Brock

It's the 'BIBLE' for Radiology Technology students! by Robin C. Danks (Central Coast, CA)

Hello, it's the ideal book for RT students! If your program doesn't use this book...change schools. And if they don't advise the study guides that go with it...get them anyway! PROs: covers almost all the topics you need for positioning courses CONs: heavy, heavy, heavy (weighs a lot) Hey, if you can get it used without much highlighting in it...go for it. Best of luck! I graduated in 2003 from RT school!

Very good study materials for student and registered x-ray techs. It gives you all the details you need for each procedure. Used it more to prepare for my clinicals than any other materials given to us during school.

Great Book by Bianca P (San Antonio)
