Riassunto

This comprehensive guide provides all the tools you need to accurately evaluate radiographic images and make the adjustments needed to acquire the best possible diagnostic quality images. You’ll discover how to evaluate an image, identify any improper positioning or techniques that caused poor quality, and correct the problem. No other text is devoted to equipping you with the critical thinking skills needed to properly position patients for optimal radiographs and help minimize the need for repeat images.

"The whole text is well presented." Reviewed by Jenny May on behalf of Radiography, July 2015

• accurately positioned projection with labeled anatomy
• photograph of an accurately positioned model
• table that provides a detailed one-to-one correlation between the positioning procedures and image analysis guidelines
• discussion, with correlating images, on identifying how the patient, central ray, or image receptor were poorly positioned if the projection does not demonstrate an image analysis guideline
• discussion of topics relating to positioning for patient condition variations and non-routine situations
• photographs of bones and models positioned as indicated to clarify information and demonstrate anatomy alignment when distortion makes it difficult
• practice images of the projection that demonstrate common procedural errors
• NEW! Two-color design helps you read and retain pertinent information.
