Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning and Procedures - 3-Volume Set - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource (Retail Access Card), 15th Edition

• NEW! Updated content reflects the advances and continuing evolution of digital imaging technology.
• NEW! Revised positioning techniques reflect the latest American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) standards, and include photos of current digital imaging for the lower limb, scoliosis, pain management, and the swallowing dysfunction.
• NEW! Added digital radiographs provide greater contrast resolution for improved visualization of pertinent anatomy.
• 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.
• Guidelines to each projection include a photograph of a properly positioned patient and information on patient position, part position, central ray angulation, collimation, KVp values, and evaluation criteria.
• Diagnostic-quality radiograph for each projection demonstrates the result the radiographer is trying to achieve.
• Coverage of common and unique positioning procedures includes chapters on trauma, surgical radiography, geriatrics/pediatrics, and bone densitometry, to help prepare students for the full scope of situations they will encounter.
• Numerous CT and MRI images enhance comprehension of cross-sectional anatomy and help in preparing for the Registry examination.
• Frequently requested projections are identified with a special icon to help students focus on what they will need to know as an entry-level radiographer.
• Image receptor and collimation sizes plus other key information are provided for each relevant projection.
• Bulleted lists provide clear instructions on how to correctly position the patient and body part when performing procedures.
• Summary tables provide quick access to projection overviews, guides to anatomy, pathology tables for bone groups and body systems, and exposure technique charts.
