Description
In addition to positioning descriptions for all body parts, this pocket-sized handbook includes basic information and applied
aspects of radiographic techniques and exposure factors including numerous conversion charts.
Included is a chapter on descriptions
and illustrations on the various forms of digital radiography currently in use. Also included are clear explanations with photographs
of all commonly performed x-ray exams. This handbook is essentially a condensed version of the positioning and technique portions
of Bontrager's Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy, soon to be in its 7
th edition.
This handbook
is also an invaluable tool for learning radiographic positioning in a clinical setting. It has many of the features of the larger, classroom
edition in a small, portable version.
