This handy resource summarizes essential information for 170 of the most frequently requested projections you'll encounter. Authors Eugene Frank, Barbara Smith, and Bruce Long concisely present just the information you'll need for quick reference -- keep it with you and keep Merrill's close at hand! Diagnostic-quality radiographs demonstrate desired imaging results. Key positioning information is formatted for quick and easy access. Each procedure is presented in a two-color, two-page spread with bulleted, step-by-step procedures and accompanying images on the top page; and a chart with spaces to fill in the specific techniques used for a particular projection on the bottom page. Section dividers with tabs offer quick access to each section. Computed radiography information allows you to make the subtle adjustments necessary to obtain optimal results with CR. Exposure technique chart for every projection helps reduce the number of repeat radiographs and improves overall image quality. Abbreviations and external landmark charts on the inside covers provide quick access to frequently needed information. kVp values are included for each projection. Compensating filter information included for those projections where filters are used. New exposure index column for use with digital imaging systems Specific collimation settings for all projections done using DR Systems

This pocket guide summarizes essential information for the most frequently requested projections in a format designed for quick reference in the clinical environment. This pocket guide concisely presents the information students and practicing radiographers need for quick reference in the clinical environment. This new edition offers step-by-step explanations on how to position the patient and body part for 190 of the most commonly requested radiographic projections. 191 illustrations.

Use this guide to quickly reference radiographic patient care procedures, commonly performed radiographic exams, and radiographic image analyses in the clinical setting.

Designed for busy medical students, The Radiology Handbook is a quick and easy reference for any practitioner who needs information on ordering or interpreting images. The book is divided into three parts: - Part I presents a table, organized from head to toe, with recommended imaging tests for common clinical conditions. - Part II is organized in a question and answer format that covers the following topics: how each major imaging modality works to create an image; what the basic precepts of image interpretation in each body system are; and where to find information and resources for continued learning. - Part III is an imaging quiz beginning at the head and ending at the foot. Sixty images are provided to self-test knowledge about normal imaging anatomy and common imaging pathology. Published in collaboration with the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, The Radiology Handbook is a convenient pocket-sized resource designed for medical students and non radiologists.

This pocket-sized guide, drawn from the twelfth edition of Clark's Positioning in Radiography, provides clear and practical advice to help radiographers in their day-to-day work. The authors considered that it is important for radiographers and students to have access to an additional text available in a "pocket" format which is easily transportable and convenient to use during everyday radiographic practice. Designed for rapid reference, it covers how to position the patient and the central ray, describes the essential image characteristics, and illustrates each radiographic projection with a positioning photograph and a radiograph. The authors have included a range of additional information new to this text. This includes a protocol for evaluating images (the "10-point plan") and a range of general advice for undertaking procedures in a professional and efficient manner. The book also includes basic information in relation to some non-imaging diagnostic tests, common medical terminology, and abbreviations. This is designed to help readers gain a better understanding of the diagnostic requirements and role of particular imaging procedures from the information presented in X-ray requests. In addition, the book discusses image evaluation, medical abbreviations, relevant normal blood values, and radiation protection. Together with key points, this information helps the radiographer achieve the ideal image result.

Este manual que presenta 217 proyecciones o posiciones, ayuda al técnico a reforzar sus habilidades básicas en radiología y ofrece listas de instrucciones, junto con fotografías que muestran la correcta colocación de los pacientes, para ayudar a posicionarlos de manera segura y fiable durante los estudios radiográficos más frecuentes. Incorpora nuevas gráficas de técnicas actualizadas que recogen las más recientes recomendaciones para radiografía computarizada y digital. Asimismo, incluye nuevas imágenes radiográficas basadas en los estándares de posicionamiento en las que se describen cada una de las posiciones, acompañadas de un breve resumen de los factores de calidad que se pueden utilizar como matriz para la evaluación de una imagen. Además, añade una nueva posición a la AP axial apical, con información y fotografías. Manual que ayuda al técnico a reforzar sus habilidades básicas en radiología.
