Key Features
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.
Guidelines to each projection include a photograph of a properly positioned patient and information on patient position, part position, central ray angulation, collimation, KVp values, and evaluation criteria.
Diagnostic-quality radiographfor each projection demonstrates the result the radiographer is trying to achieve.
Coverage of common and unique positioning procedures includes chapters on trauma, surgical radiography, geriatrics/pediatrics, and bone densitometry, to help prepare you for the full scope of situations you will encounter.
Numerous CT and MRI images enhance comprehension of cross-sectional anatomy and help in preparing for the Registry examination.
Frequently requested projections are identified with a special icon to help you focus on what you need to know as an entry-level radiographer.
Image receptor and collimation sizes plus other key information are provided for each relevant projection.
Bulleted lists provide clear instructions on how to correctly position the patient and body part when performing procedures.
