Pocketbook of Radiographic Positioning by Ruth Sutherland,Calum Thomson,Donald Graham Pdf

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It is a practical guide to the wide variety of radiographic projections that are commonly encountered in a clinical environment. It provides clear and concise advice on how to approach radiographic positioning and technique, both efficiently and effectively. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of achieving the best possible image with the minimum exposure. The routine examinations are dealt with by region in a systematic way and have the same easy-to-use format throughout. For each projection, there is a patient position photograph and an accompanying radiograph to ensure that the required result of the examination has been achieved. The accompanying CDrom enlarges and adapts the images to demonstrate the anatomy and areas of interest. The CDrom expands contents of book in three areas: technique, radiological assessment and pathology. Additional illustrations are included and leader lines and legends added to enlarged versions of existing images to help readers assess radiographs. Text updated and bibliography expanded.

Clark's Pocket Handbook for Radiographers by Charles Sloane,Stewart A Whitley,Craig Anderson,Ken Holmes Pdf

This pocket-sized guide, drawn from the twelfth edition of Clark's Positioning in Radiography, provides clear and practical advice to help radiographers in their day-to-day work. The authors considered that it is important for radiographers and students to have access to an additional text available in a "pocket" format which is easily transportable and convenient to use during everyday radiographic practice. Designed for rapid reference, it covers how to position the patient and the central ray, describes the essential image characteristics, and illustrates each radiographic projection with a positioning photograph and a radiograph. The authors have included a range of additional information new to this text. This includes a protocol for evaluating images (the "10-point plan") and a range of general advice for undertaking procedures in a professional and efficient manner. The book also includes basic information in relation to some non-imaging diagnostic tests, common medical terminology, and abbreviations. This is designed to help readers gain a better understanding of the diagnostic requirements and role of particular imaging procedures from the information presented in X-ray requests. In addition, the book discusses image evaluation, medical abbreviations, relevant normal blood values, and radiation protection. Together with key points, this information helps the radiographer achieve the ideal image result.
