- Bulleted step-by-step instructions show how to position the patient and body part for frequently requested radiography projections. - More than 150 projections are each presented in a two-page spread, and include information on patient position, part position, central ray angulation, collimation, KVp values, and a photograph of a properly positioned patient. - Diagnostic-quality radiograph for each projection demonstrates the result the radiographer is trying to achieve. - Computed Radiography information allows the radiographer to make the subtle adjustments necessary to obtaining optimal CR results. - Exposure technique chart for every projection helps reduce the need for repeat radiographs and improves overall image quality. - Abbreviations and external landmarks are listed on the inside front cover and inside back cover for quick reference. - Compensating filter information is included for those projections where filters are used. - Section dividers with tabs make it easier to find the beginning of each section. - NEW! Updated digital radiographs provide greater contrast resolution for improved visualization of pertinent anatomy. - NEW! Thoroughly revised content reflects the latest American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) standards. - NEW! Updated positioning photos show current digital imaging equipment and technology. - NEW! Full-color design emphasizes the key points on each page, enhancing your study of radiographic positioning and procedures.
