Pocketbook of Radiographic Positioning

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.
