This is my second purchase as I gave my first Merrill's Pocket Guide away as a gift to a co-worker. I have relied heavily on this as a new Radiology Tech. When I am in the clinical setting and have to quickly look up an angle, position, etc... I go to this guide. It's even faster than Googling the information. Highly recommend to students or staff in the Radiology field.

As someone who is going into Radiology Technology school this book is a MUST HAVE. I'm able to pull it out during my rounds and study the various angle, positions and general study as a refresher. Beats having to look things up on the internet when you have it with you!!

This is a great tool to have as a new radiographer. I would like to see more advanced imaging though. Print is very small, but necessary to be easily portable. Digital notes are invaluable as more facilities progress.

Best Guide for returning radiographers

Wonderful! It's a must have for all Rad Techs or imaging departments.

Great book when starting work months after finishing school.

Awesome quick look helper

Daughter uses it in clinicals for radiography. Very helpful with pictures to view for each projection/position too.
