Drawn from the renowned reference Clark's Positioning in Radiography, this bestselling pocket handbook provides clear and practical advice to help radiographers in their day-to-day work. Designed and structured for rapid reference, it covers how to position the patient and image receptor as well as the direction and location of the beam, describes the essential image characteristics, and illustrates each radiographic projection with a positioning photograph and corresponding radiographic image.
This third edition has been updated to include new positioning photographs reflecting the dominance of direct digital radiography detectors (DDRs), helpful information on the importance of optimisation, exposure factors and geometry in image production, evaluating exposure in digital imaging and aspects of bariatric imaging.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'invaluable to students and newly-qualified radiographers, due to its clear format, well indexed content and comprehensive text [and] packed
full of accurate, accessible and useful information.This revised third edition has evolved to reflect the prevailing challenges and changes faced by radiographers
in the modern imaging department. I would highly recommend this book to any radiographer or radiography student who wants a comprehensive
and up-to-date practical reference guide in a pocket-sized format.' Jo Brown, Senior Radiographer, Lymington New Forest Hospital, Southern Health
