Reinforce your understanding of radiographic positioning and procedures with this practical workbook! Corresponding to the content in Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning & Procedures, 15th Edition, this workbook helps you review and practice essential radiographic terminology, anatomy, and positioning concepts. Exercises include multiple-choice and matching questions, imaging evaluation, and more. Written by the textbook's authors, this workbook prepares you for success on the ARRT certification exam and in clinical radiography practice.
- Anatomy exercises reinforce your understanding with multiple-choice, matching, and short-answer questions, labeling and identification diagrams, and crossword puzzles. - Positioning exercises include multiple-choice, matching, short-answer, true/false, and fill-in-the blank questions, labeling and identification diagrams, and comparisons of standard radiographic projections. - Exercises on identifying errors in radiographs prepare you to evaluate radiographs in clinical situations. - Pathology exercises help you understand which projections will best demonstrate various pathologies. - Self-tests at the end of each chapter include review questions enabling you to assess your comprehension and measure your own progress. - NEW! Updated drawings and radiographic images reflect the content updates in the Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning & Procedures, 15th Edition text. - NEW exercises reflect the latest changes to the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) examination.
