Merrill's Pocket Guide to Radiography, 16th Edition summarizes essential information for more than 150 radiography projections in a spiral-bound format designed for quick reference in the clinical environment. Clear instructions explain how to position patients and body parts, and an optimal radiograph is included for each projection. A portable, easy-to-carry companion to the three-volume Merrill’s Atlas, this book provides guidelines for everything from perfect positioning to perfect exposures.
    • NEW! Appendix for working with obese patients provides guidance on modified positioning and imaging techniques.
