Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positions and Radiologic Procedures

This edition contains illustrations, examples and procedures for imaging every part of the body. Special icons designate 176 essential competency positions and projections identified as necessary for entry-level radiographers, and bulleted lists outline the steps for positioning the patient.

The first volume of Merrill's Atlas presents preliminary steps in radiography, radiation protection, and terminology. Then it covers anatomy and positioning for the upper limb, shoulder girdle, lower limb, pelvis and upper femora, vertebral column, and thoracic viscera. Volume 1 closes with these specialty topics: long bone measurement, contrast arthrography, foreign body localization, and trauma radiography.
