Atlas Of Roentgenographic Measurement

Designed as a reference source for specialists who use radiographic measurements, this volume contains tables and images and includes new and expanded sections on CT, MRI, ultrasound and obstetric measurements and orthopaedic measurements.

A sequel to the monograph concerning roentgenocephalometry in Norma Lateralis, this book contains clinically relevant and diagnostically significant craniofacial measurements in Norma Frontalis for use as growth standards--accurate standards being essential to the clinical appraisal and delineation of craniofacial genetic syndromes and defects. The atlas provides age and sex-specific growth standards, as well as percentile estimates for 95 measurement norms and ten proportional norms of North Americans (306 females, 236 males) of European ancestry, ranging in age from 3 1/2 to 60 years. As such, these normative standards provide an objective and reliable data base for evaluating individual growth, studying developmental changes as a consequence of the growth process, and characterizing aberrant growth patterns. Data evaluates sex-specific age effects by plotting bivariate relationships between each measurement and chronological age (3 1/2-25 yrs.); regression equations are used to make ``adult'' growth projections. Includes data on 34 sets of height, width and depth measurements for evaluation of symmetry/asymmetry in various anatomic components of the face.

More than 400 projections make it easier to learn anatomy, properly position the patient, set exposures, and take high-quality radiographs! With Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning & Procedures, 13th Edition, you will develop the skills to produce clear radiographic images to help physicians make accurate diagnoses. Going beyond anatomy and positioning, Volume 3 prepares you for special imaging modalities and situations such as pediatric imaging, mobile radiography, operating room radiography, cardiac catheterization, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and radiation therapy. Written by radiologic imaging experts Bruce Long, Jeannean Hall Rollins, and Barbara Smith, Merrill's Atlas is not just the gold standard in radiographic positioning references, and the most widely used, but also an excellent review in preparing for ARRT and certification exams! Comprehensive, full-color coverage of anatomy and positioning makes Merrill's Atlas the most in-depth text and reference available for radiography students and practitioners. Coverage of common and unique positioning procedures includes special chapters on trauma, surgical radiography, geriatrics/pediatrics, and bone densitometry, to help prepare you for the full scope of situations you will encounter. Coverage of special imaging modalities and situations in this volume includes mobile radiography, operating room radiography, computed tomography, cardiac catheterization, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine technology, bone densitometry, positron emission tomography, and radiation therapy. UNIQUE! Collimation sizes and other key information are provided for each relevant projection. Frequently performed projections are identified with a special icon to help you focus on what you need to know as an entry-level radiographer. Numerous CT and MRI images enhance your comprehension of cross-sectional anatomy and help you prepare for the Registry examination. Projection summary tables in each procedural chapter offer general chapter overviews and serve as handy study guides. Summary tables provide quick access to projection overviews, guides to anatomy, pathology tables for bone groups and body systems, and exposure technique charts. Bulleted lists provide clear instructions on how to correctly position the patient and body part when performing procedures. Pathology summary tables provide quick access to the likely pathologies for each bone group or body system. NEW positioning photos show current digital imaging equipment and technology. NEW! Coverage of the latest advances in digital imaging also includes more digital radiographs with greater contrast resolution of pertinent anatomy. UPDATED Pediatric Imaging chapter addresses care for the patient with autism, strategies for visit preparation, appropriate communication, and environmental considerations. UPDATED Geriatric Radiography chapter describes how to care for the patient with Alzheimer's Disease and other related conditions.

This new edition of a respected classic is the most comprehensive and up-to-date compendium of radiographic measurements, covering the full scope of diagnostic radiology CT, ultrasound, plain film, nuclear medicine, and MRI*as applied to all organ systems. The chapters on all other organ systems have been completely updated to include newer measurements using the latest modalities. A new organization reflects the ACR coding system.
