Riassunto:

This comprehensive guide shows how to reduce the need for repeat radiographs. It teaches how to carefully evaluate an image, how to identify the improper positioning or technique that caused a poor image, and how to correct the problem. This text equips radiographers with the critical thinking skills needed to anticipate and adjust for positioning and technique challenges before a radiograph is taken, so they can produce the best possible diagnostic quality radiographs.

• Provides a complete guide to evaluating radiographs and troubleshooting positioning and technique errors, increasing the likelihood of getting a good image on the first try.
• Offers step-by-step descriptions of all evaluation criteria for every projection along with explanations of how to reposition or adjust technique to produce an acceptable image.
• Familiarizes technologists with what can go wrong, so they can avoid retakes and reduce radiation exposure for patients and themselves.
• Provides numerous critique images for evaluation, so that readers can study poor images and understand what factors contributed to their production and what adjustments need to be made.
• Combines coverage of both positioning and technique errors, as these are likely to occur together in the clinical environment.
• Student workbook available for separate purchase for more practice with critique of radiographs.
• Provides Evolve website with a course management platform for instructors who want to post course materials online.

• Expanded coverage to include technique and positioning adjustments required by computed radiography.
• Pediatric radiography, covering radiation protection and special problems of obtaining high-quality images of pediatric patients.
• Evaluation criteria related to technique factors, which historically account for 60%-70% of retakes.
• New chapter on evaluation of images of the gastrointestinal system.
• Pitfalls of trauma and mobile imaging to encourage quick thinking and problem-solving in trauma situations.
• Improved page design and formatting to call attention to most important content.
