Gain the knowledge and skills you need to succeed as a radiologic technologist! Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy, 11th Edition provides the essential information that you need to perform hundreds of radiographic procedures and produce clear, diagnostic-quality images. Easy-to-follow guidelines help you learn anatomy and positioning and minimize imaging errors. In fact, each positioning page spotlights just one projection, with bulleted information on the left side of the page and positioning photos, anatomical drawings, and correctly positioned and correctly exposed radiographic images on the right. Written by imaging experts John P. Lampignano and Leslie E. Kendrick, this book also provides excellent preparation for the ARRT® certification examination.
