Perfect your positioning skills with the leading radiography text
and clinical reference! Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning
& Procedures, 15th Edition helps you learn to position patients
properly, set exposures, and produce the clear radiographs needed
to make accurate diagnoses. Guidelines to both common and uncommon
projections prepare you for every kind of patient encounter.
Anatomy and positioning information is organized by bone group or
organ system, and coverage of special imaging modalities includes
CT, MRI, sonography, radiation therapy, and more. Written by noted
educators Jeannean Hall Rollins, Bruce Long, and Tammy Curtis,
Merrill's Atlas is not just the gold standard in imaging - it also
prepares you for the ARRT exam! 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 you
for the full scope of situations you 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
you focus on what you 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. 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.
