Textbook Of Radiographic Positioning And Related Anatomy, 6e Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
This radiography text focuses on about 200 of the most commonly performed radiographic exams, featuring a clear, easy-to-follow organization. It presents positioning and projection information in an easy-to-read, bulleted format on one side of the page spread, with corresponding positioning photos, radiographic images and anatomical drawings on the other side. Expert content covers pathology, geriatric and pediatric patient populations, survey information, and 100 new positioning photographs for the latest in radiographic positioning. The 6th edition contains a new chapter on digital imaging, and digital imaging information is incorporated where appropriate throughout the book. New photographs and redrawn illustrations create a consistent, visual appearance throughout the book.· Characterized by a clear, easy-to-follow organization that features one projection per page. Positioning and projection information is presented in an easy-to-read bulleted format on the left side of the page, and positioning photos, radiographic images and anatomical drawings are aligned on the right. This "show and tell" style helps students visualize anatomy and understand positioning.· Includes about 200 of the most commonly requested projections. Competency in performing these projections is necessary for all entry-level practitioners. By contrast, Merrill's Atlas includes over 400 projections and much more information on advanced imaging.· Critique Radiographs provide the basis of classroom or lab discussion. The WB/LM contains questions specific to these radiographs.· Pathologic Indications in appropriate chapters - Introducing pathology with positioning helps students understand the whole patient and improves their ability to produce radiographs that make diagnosis easy for the physician.· Pediatric Applications in appropriate chapters prepare technologists to deal competently with the special needs of their pediatric patients. · Geriatric Applications in appropriate chapters - Important information for technologists to understand the varying needs of their patient base.· Alternative Modalities or procedures inform students of which projections can better demonstrate certain anatomical parts or pathology, or which may be necessary if patient is unable to cooperate fully.· Radiographic Criteria on positioning pages help students develop a routine for evaluating radiographic quality.· Pathology Demonstrated provides students with a larger frame of reference, and therefore a greater understanding, of each projectionA new chapter on digital imaging discusses basic principles, applications, and image quality - digital imaging information essential for making appropriate positioning adjustments - to ensure readers are prepared to encounter new technology in clinical practice.Content updates include a totally new section on surgical radiography, new sections in all chapters on digital imaging considerations, an expanded section on bone densitometry, and a new introduction to positron emission tomography (PET).Updated and revised chapters cover angiography and interventional procedures, and computed tomography.More than 150 new positioning photos, in addition to many updated images, complement the new material.

I graduated back in 2004 from Baker College of Owosso's Radiology Technology Program and we used this textbook. This textbook is great for an easy understanding of anatomy and radiographic exams. The one-page exam layouts are very efficient, and again easy to comprehend. It will come very handy too, later on, when you've graduated and end up pulling it out for those rare exams you do, maybe one or two times a year, (Cough), Mastoids! (Laugh). So please, do not throw it in the trash or give it back to your bookstore!When I was in my clinical setting, I worked along side with other students from a different program. They were very jealous of my one large textbook, compared to their 3 large textbooks! Apparently their text was divided amongst three volumes, crazy!Anyhow, I would definitely recommend this text for any student and for any program that is presently not using it. The workbook is a great addition with reinforcing the material, so I would definitely recommend getting both.Good luck to all you future Radiographers out there.-J.Brock
I refer back to it constantly...this book is better than Merrill's txtbook..No regrets and who cares if its heavy (that's why they invented backpacks with wheels, right?)
I always buy my textbooks on ! Saves so much money!! This book was very helpful in my positioning class (just wish my teacher was better!). I'm sure by now there have been at least a few newer editions, but, if your teacher allows, many times the content is the same, just laid out differently. That would save you even more money!! I've done it! Ask, it can't hurt!
This textbook is excellent. It is a very thorough text describing every positioning for radiography students. It has proved to be very helpful in my studies so far, since I am a first year undergraduate Medical Radiation Sciences student doing Diagnostic Radiography. It is always at hand when I need to clarify or look up something. It also covers a bit on how xrays work and related physics that is necessary in any radiography textbook. I highly recommend it, and am very happy with purchasing this product.
Begins with fundamentals of anatomy and physics and progresses logically thru the subjects to include digital. The positions are explained, the objects/points to be demonstrated are clear, the positions required, their illustrations and radiography are excellent. Indexes, conversion charts, and tables are clearly presented and referenced. This text is outstanding in the extreme and should be a part of every students' personal library of X-ray/radiography reference work. My husband and I have recently completed school and are both thrilled with this text.
I recieved the book in great condition. It was exactly what I needed. Cant wait to start Radiologu in the fall !!
Well detailed!!! This book has every known positioning for every projection u can and can"t think of in Medical Radiography....Just get it for ur peace of mind in this field. Again, its concise compared to Merrills.
Although this was not the product I was expecting, they issued a full refund and asked me to keep the book as their compliments.I received the workbook version instead of the actual textbook.Make sure to always check the ISBN inside of the book.
