Riassunto

With an easier-to-understand, streamlined style, this new edition covers all the content areas needed by limited x-ray machine operators, including x-ray technology, anatomy, pathology and positioning, patient care, and other clinical skills. The introductory chapters explain the role of the limited practitioner and introduce the student to radiographic equipment. The radiologic sciences section covers the basics of physics, x-ray production, exposure technique, processing, and radiation safety. The positioning chapters provide instructions for positioning and imaging of the upper and lower extremities, pelvis, spine, chest, abdomen, and head. Other coverage includes legal and ethical concerns, patient care, infection control, and medical emergencies. The ancillary skills section covers procedures such as medication administration, urinalysis, and ECGs.

• Step-by-step radiographic procedures offer an easy-to-understand, quick-reference. presentation of the different radiographic procedures encountered in limited radiography.
• Boxes with special icons are used throughout each chapter, reinforcing and reiterating important points in the text.
• More than 900 anatomy illustrations, positioning photos, and x-rays demonstrate positioning and the resulting x-rays in detail.
• Learning objectives, key terms, and glossary highlight important information in each chapter.
• Review questions and answers include short answer and essay questions, focusing the reader on the most important information and providing opportunities for review and self-assessment.

• Updated content on the role of the limited radiographer.
• Up-to-date information from the ASRT regarding limited radiography terminology and state licensure guidelines and testing, including each state's requirements for practicing limited radiography.
• Simplified physics and math concepts ensure that student is focused on the most relevant information.
• Standardized anatomy and positioning terminology uses consistent radiographic terms throughout the text, so students learn accepted terminology.
• Full, concise coverage of all subjects that students need to know to pass the ARRT Limited Scope Exam and that limited radiographers will encounter in the workplace, including x-ray science and techniques; radiation safety; radiographic anatomy, pathology, and positioning of upper and lower extremities, spine, chest and head; patient care; and ancillary clinical skills.
• Workbook with exercises from each chapter accompanies the textbook. Long: Radiography Essentials for Limited Practice, 2nd Edition
