| radiographic positioning and procedures: Radiographic Techniques and Image Evaluation Elizabeth M. Unett, Jo Campling, Amanda J. Royle, 2013-11-09 I welcome this book on behalf of radiographic practitioners every where. It arrives at a time of rapid change within the world of medical imaging where advancing technology and changes in employment conditions are having a major effect on the everyday working practices of those who physically and clinically direct radiation. The development of radiography as a graduate profession within the United Kingdom provides the opportunity for role extension and role fulfilment for radiographers. Moves toward standardized quality assurance and quality control programmes in radiography and radi ology include not only the audit of equipment but also working practices. The science and art of image production form the corner stone for these working practices where radiographic skills and image quality lead to the provision of a caring, quality service. This book will help the development and continuation of this programme by affording detailed information on a wide range of imaging procedures for radiographers, including positioning and procedural protocols, as well as image acceptance criteria. A major feature of this book is the systematic chronological presentation of its content which makes it a boon to both the new and experienced practitioner as well as those studying for a radiography degree or involved in the first year of the FRCR examination. Elizabeth Unett and Amanda Royle are experienced radiographers and educationists in imaging sciences. They have both played a major role in the development of clinical education programmes for diploma and undergraduate radiography students. |

| radiographic positioning and procedures: Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning and Procedures E-Book Bruce W. Long, Jeannean Hall Rollins, Barbara J. Smith, 2018-11-25 With more than 400 projections, Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning & Procedures, 14th Edition makes it easier to for you to learn anatomy, properly position the patient, set exposures, and take high-quality radiographs. This definitive text has been reorganized to align with the ASRT curriculum — helping you develop the skills to produce clear radiographic images. It separates anatomy and positioning information by bone groups or organ systems — using full-color illustrations to show anatomical anatomy, and CT scans and MRI images to help in learning cross-section anatomy. Merrill's Atlas is not just the gold standard in radiographic positioning texts, and the most widely used, but also an excellent review in preparing for ARRT and certification exams! - Comprehensive, full-color coverage of anatomy and positioning makes Merrill's Atlas the most in-depth text and reference available for radiography students and practitioners. - Frequently performed essential projections identified with a special icon to help you focus on what you need to know as an entry-level radiographer. - Summary of Pathology table now includes common male reproductive system pathologies. - Coverage of common and unique positioning procedures includes special chapters on trauma, surgical radiography, geriatrics/pediatrics, and bone densitometry, to help prepare you for the full scope of situations you will encounter. - Collimation sizes and other key information are provided for each relevant projection. - Numerous CT and MRI images enhance comprehension of cross-sectional anatomy and help in preparing for the Registry examination. - UPDATED! Positioning photos show current digital imaging equipment and technology. - Summary tables provide quick access to projection overviews, guides to anatomy, pathology tables for bone groups and body systems, and exposure technique charts - Bulleted lists provide clear instructions on how to correctly position the patient and body part when performing procedures. - NEW! Updated content in text reflects continuing evolution of digital image technology - NEW! Updated positioning photos illustrate the current digital imaging equipment and technology (lower limb, scoliosis, pain management, swallowing dysfunction). - NEW! Added digital radiographs provide greater contrast resolution for improved visualization of pertinent anatomy. - NEW! Revised positioning techniques reflect the latest ASRT standards. |
