Radiographic Projections & Positioning Guide
Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
A comprehensive overview of routine imaging procedures and positioning terminology in diagnostic imaging. Also included is a summary of patient care in radiology, infection control, patient communication and digital technology. Each projection file includes an image of the actual position with the corresponding labeled radiograph, plus technical information on patient positioning; body/part position and rotation; central ray angulation; point of entry; structures demonstrated; and image evaluation and critique.
Great student and educator resource. Handy summary of exam positions. Also, for use by student radiographers/technologists during registry reviews or as a refresher for practicing radiographer/ x-ray technologist/imaging technologists.
