This is the new edition of a text and reference that has been updated and renewed every five years since its original publication in 1982. Honed through the years, skillful page design presents text, photos, drawings, and radiographic images in an efficient and accessible manner. Some 200 of the most commonly requested projections are included--a single projection per page--along with critique radiographs that demonstrate common errors, summary charts, specific information on pediatric and geriatric requirements, and coverage of alternative modalities and procedures.

Focusing on one projection per page, Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy, 7th Edition includes all of the positioning and projection information you need to know in a clear bulleted format. Positioning photos, radiographic images, and anatomical images, along with projection and positioning information, help you visualize anatomy and produce the most accurate images. With over 200 of the most commonly requested projections, this text includes all of the essential information for clinical practice.
- Radiographic Critique points out positioning errors to help you produce more accurate images.
