Product Description

This pocketbook is a practical guide to the wide variety of radiographic projections that are commonly encountered in a clinical environment. It provides clear and concise advice on how to approach radiographic positioning and technique, both efficiently and effectively. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of achieving the best possible image with the minimum exposure.

The routine examinations are dealt with by region in a systematic way and have the same easy-to-use format throughout. For each projection, there is a patient position photograph and an accompanying radiograph to ensure that the required result of the examination has been achieved.

The pocketbook will become an essential resource for all students and newly qualified radiographers. It should also be of special interest to those involved in the teaching of radiographic positioning and technique.

Customer Reviews

Think before you buy
The thumbnail pictures of position were useful to me but the images too small to help my studies. It is easy to orientate yourself around the book.

Some techniques seem a little old fashioned and there are no alternatives offered when they could be considered. Sometimes a technique which might increase radiation dose to sensitive organs is the only one described. There are some errors in technique which would confuse some students. The bibliography contains quite old texts (when newer ones are available).

Good quick reference
This book is a good one to keep in your pocket when your start your clinical placements and still in need of reminders! :-) Is not really thorough enough for in-depth study, but a really good buy to help with your confidence.

The pictures are very small
I bought it to boost my confidence (as suggested by a reviewer)and it looked like a good buy for the price (quite cheap)but the pictures were too small and my clinical tutor says some of the techniques are not really recommended (and old fashiond).
