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.

Key Features

Labeled radiographs (radiographic overlays) identify key radiographic anatomy and landmarks to help you recognize anatomy and determine if you have captured the correct diagnostic information on images.
Coverage of the latest ARRT^® content specifications and ASRT curriculum guidelines prepares you for certification exams and for clinical practice.
Display of just one projection per page in Positioning chapters presents a manageable amount of information in an easily accessible format.
Positioning pages for projections show positioning photographs plus radiographic and anatomy-labeled images side-by-side on a single page with written summaries of topics such as clinical indications, technical factors, patient and body part positions, recommended collimation field size, and evaluation criteria.
Clinical Indications sections on positioning pages summarize conditions or pathologies that may be demonstrated by structures or tissues in an examination or projection.
Evaluation Criteria on positioning pages describe the evaluation/critique process that should be completed for each radiographic image.
Pediatric, Geriatric, and Bariatric Patient Considerations help you accommodate unique patient needs.
Critique images at the end of positioning chapters test your understanding of common positioning and technical errors found in radiographs.
Review questions are provided on the Evolve website.
