Synopsis

This book provides in one concise volume the entire range of radiographic positioning and techniques - the fundamental concepts of radiography which all students and professionals must understand. Uniquely, it combines this essential core knowledge with a reflective approach. The editors have brought together contributions from radiographers, radiography lecturers, radiologists and other experts from the commercial sector of medical imaging, all selected for their clinical and academic expertise.
‘The authors have been comprehensive, thorough and innovative. This well-presented book should be adopted by Schools of Diagnostic Imaging in Europe and elsewhere and be a constant companion to the reflective radiographic practitioner.’ From the foreword by Patrick Brennan

Core chapters on radiographic positioning take a step-by-step approach and follow the same logical structure supplemented by:

- discussion on suitability of projections or methods used
- tips for improved practical implementation
- full image quality criteria
- advice on causes and correction of common errors

11 additional chapters on contrast techniques and complementary imaging

Approximately 800 illustrations including over 700 black & white and 10 colour photographs and images
