Description
- Positioning photos show current digital imaging equipment and technology
- Summary tables provide quick access to projection overviews, guides to anatomy, pathology tables for bone groups and body systems, and exposure technique charts
- Bulleted lists provide clear instructions on how to correctly position the patient and body part when performing procedures
- Comprehensive, full-color coverage of anatomy and positioning makes Merrill's Atlas the most in-depth text and reference available for radiography students and practitioners
- Frequently performed essential projections identified with a special icon to help you focus on what you need to know as an entry-level radiographer
- Summary of Pathology table now includes common male reproductive system pathologies
- Coverage of common and unique positioning procedures includes special chapters on trauma, surgical radiography, geriatrics/pediatrics, and bone densitometry, to help prepare you for the full scope of situations you will encounter
- Collimation sizes and other key information are provided for each relevant projection
- Numerous CT and MRI images enhance comprehension of cross-sectional anatomy and help in preparing for the Registry examination
- Updated content in text reflects continuing evolution of digital image technology (New)
- Updated positioning photos illustrate the current digital imaging equipment and technology (lower limb, scoliosis, pain management, swallowing dysfunction) (New)
- Added digital radiographs provide greater contrast resolution for improved visualization of pertinent anatomy (New)
- Revised positioning techniques reflect the latest ASRT standards (New)

Jeannean has been teaching in Medical Imaging at Arkansas State University since 1991. In that time, she has served as interim program director, Faculty Senate senator, Faculty Association Secretary, Vice-President of the Arkansas Society of Radiologic Technologists, and numerous committees for the college and university. Additionally, she has been a recipient of the Arkansas State University Board of Trustees Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence and the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Distinguished Author Award. She has numerus national peer-reviewed journal publications and continuously provides presentations at various local, state, and national forums. Jeannean is co-author of Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning and Procedures, an internationally renowned textbook in medical imaging procedures. Her other scholarly activities focus on providing electronic instructional tools for medical imaging educators Dr. Curtis has published several articles in journals, contributed to books, edited and reviewed educational books and products, and developed new products. She is the current author of international radiologic sciences education textbooks. Dr. Curtis has served in offices from secretary to president in her state affiliate and is still active in serving members and students. She holds several memberships with professional organizations and volunteers at national conferences for student competitions and hosting CE lectures for technologists and educators.
Before entering academia, she worked as a radiologic technologist for various healthcare organizations. She continues to visit local clinical sites with current undergraduate students to stay current in the practice field.
Dr. Curtis research interest is emergency preparedness and disaster response and serves on several college committees. She is the current university liaison for La Region 7 Hospital Preparedness Healthcare Coalition.
