The quick reference to use for clinicals!

This sixth edition of Merrill's Pocket Guide to Radiography concisely presents essential positioning information for more than 150 of the most common projections, including mobile and CR.

Bulleted, step-by-step procedures show how to position the patient
     and body part, making it easier to perform radiographic exams
     quickly and efficiently.

Each projection spread includes a reference radiograph
     demonstrating a high-quality image.

NEW! A Compensating Filter icon shows when using these filters
     can improve overall image quality.

NEW! kVp settings are included for each projection for quick
     reference.

Special digital radiography icons provide specific instructions and
     the necessary positioning adjustments to achieve optimal
     images.

A handy exposure technique chart improves image quality and
     reduces the need for repeat radiographs.

Whether you are a student or a practicing radiographer, Merrill's Pocket Guide to Radiography provides the positioning information you need to efficiently and accurately produce diagnostic quality images — the first time and every time!
