Flexibooks (clinical sciences) Accurate diagnosis depends on properly conducted radiographic
imaging. Inappropriate positioning or exposure can lead to diagnoses being missed or incorrect.
This handy atlas for radiologic technicians and physicians demonstrates not only how to
position patients but also how to ensure that the images obtained are optimal for diagnosis.
The clear way in which the information is arranged for each type of study including imaging
technique and parameters positioning and where appropriate tips and tricks makes the whole
process much easier. Criteria for a good radiographic view are demonstrated on actual
radiologic images. The updated and enlarged 2nd edition now includes all standard positioning
and examination techniques for conventional radiology CT and MR imaging. In the completely new
chapter on computed tomography the use of multidetector CT scanners is covered. Also new to
this 2nd edition are the chapter on MR imaging and the much-expanded chapter on mammography.
This Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Positioning is the ideal companion to Moeller and Reif's
Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy and their three-volume Pocket Atlas of Cross-Sectional
Anatomy.
