Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related AnatomyThis work is designed to teach student radiographers positioning, special procedures and related anatomical structures. For each procedure, a description of the photograph is accompanied by an image, the X-ray result, a line drawing of the anatomy shown in the X-ray, and evaluation criteria. All the basic or routine projects and/or positions for all body parts and systems are described, as well as some of the more common optional projections and/or procedures. Based on feedback from educators, there is an additional chapter on trauma and mobile radiography in this edition. |
