This essential resource provides the knowledge and skills you need to perform hundreds of radiographic procedures and produce clear, diagnostic-quality images. With easy-to-follow guidelines, you'll learn anatomy and positioning, minimizing imaging errors. Each positioning page focuses on one projection, with bulleted information on the left side and positioning photos, anatomical drawings, and correctly positioned and exposed radiographic images on the right. Written by imaging experts John P. Lampignano and Leslie E. Kendrick, this book is an excellent preparation for the ARRT® certification examination. Labeled radiographs (radiographic overlays) identify key radiographic anatomy and landmarks, helping you recognize anatomy and determine if you have captured the correct diagnostic information on images. Coverage of the latest ARRT® content specifications and ASRT curriculum guidelines prepares you for certification exams and clinical practice. Displaying only one projection per page in the Positioning chapters presents a manageable amount of information in an easily accessible format. Positioning pages for projections showcase positioning photographs, radiographic and anatomy-labeled images, and written summaries of topics such as clinical indications, technical factors, patient and body part positions, recommended collimation field size, and evaluation criteria. Clinical Indications sections on positioning pages summarize conditions or pathologies that may be demonstrated by structures or tissues in an examination.
