This definitive book is the companion volume to Clark's Positioning
in Radiography. It is focused on special imagining procedures and
techniques and interventional procedures. Bringing together
conventional contrast media studies, computed tomography,
ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide imaging
including PET, SPECT CT and PET MRI and digital interventional
procedures into one volume, it is the essential source of
information for students of Radiography and Radiographer Assistant
Trainees. The book reflects as to why procedures are carried out in
terms of the indications for justification under IRMER 2000
procedures and any NICE or other medical referral guidelines such
as the Map of Medicine.The book adopts an anatomical systemic
approach, designed to be a clear and comprehensive reference text.
Each chapter is highly illustrated and contains sections detailing
anatomy, pathology considerations, procedure methodology and an
evaluation of recommended imaging modalities. Both conventional and
cross-sectional procedures are described, giving details for each
procedure on indications/contraindication, position of patient,
imaging modality, imaging procedure, contrast media and injection
data, and imaging analysis. Important information is provided on
the parameters which affect image production and quality for each
of the modalities described in the book as well as considering the
risk benefit, sensitivity and specificity of procedures.Whilst
keeping many of the standard procedures and successful changes and
additions to the first edition (Clark's Special Procedures in
Diagnostic Imaging), this new edition includes a number of new
innovations as well as reflecting the changes in approach to
radiographic technique as a result of the variety of different
x-ray equipment platforms accompanying the new digital imaging
technology environment and advancements across the range of modern
imaging modalities. The innovations include a section on
recommended imaging pathways for different disease processes, the
addition of a number of procedures not covered in the original
edition i.e. defecating proctograms and herniograms and virtual
coloscopy . This author team has a wide experience in publication
and access to modern radiography imaging departments where
technique and procedures are constantly changing many of which are
reflected, making this book state of the art and reflecting the
changing and advanced role of the radiographer.
