Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy: Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy

by Kenneth L. Bontrager MA RT(R), John Lampignano MEd RT(R) (CT)

This radiography text focuses on about 200 of the most commonly performed radiographic exams, featuring a clear, easy-to-follow organisation. It presents positioning and projection information in an easy-to-read, bulleted format on one side of the page spread, with corresponding positioning photos, radiographic images and anatomical drawings on the other side. Expert content covers pathology, geriatric and paediatric patient populations, survey information, and 100 new positioning photographs for the latest in radiographic positioning. The 6th edition contains a new chapter on digital imaging, and digital imaging information is incorporated where appropriate throughout the book. New photographs and redrawn illustrations create a consistent, visual appearance throughout the book.

· Characterized by a clear, easy-to-follow organization that features one projection per page. Positioning and projection information is presented in an easy-to-read bulleted format on the left side of the page, and positioning photos, radiographic images and anatomical drawings are aligned on the right. This "show and tell" style helps students visualize anatomy and understand positioning.· Includes about 200 of the most commonly requested projections. Competency in performing these projections is necessary for all entry-level practitioners. By contrast, Merrill's Atlas includes over 400 projections and much more information on advanced imaging.· Critique Radiographs provide the basis of classroom or lab discussion. The WB/LM contains questions specific to these radiographs.· Pathologic Indications in appropriate chapters - Introducing pathology with positioning helps students understand the whole patient and improves their ability to produce radiographs that make diagnosis easy for the physician.· Pediatric Applications in appropriate chapters prepare technologists to deal competently with the special needs of their pediatric patients. · Geriatric Applications in appropriate chapters - Important information for technologists to understand the varying needs of their patient base.· Alternative Modalities or procedures inform students of which projections can better demonstrate certain anatomical parts or pathology, or which may be necessary if patient is unable to cooperate fully.· Radiographic Criteria on positioning pages help students develop a routine for evaluating radiographic quality.· Pathology Demonstrated provides students with a larger frame of reference, and therefore a greater understanding, of each projection

Excellent text book for radiologic technology
Read many chapters and pages of it and I still keep it as a reference.

Putting me in a major reading slump!!!!!

As far as textbooks go though it kinda slays

Great book for every soon-to-be radiographer/radiologic technologist. You could say it's a bit dated since there are a lot of positions you more or less never do these days because of CT, but at the same time, one day you might stand there, having to take "that" picture you never bothered to learn, and that's when you bring out this book again. Great to have.

The Bontrager textbook is what I learned from in X-Ray school. At the time; I had a love/hate relationship with the textbook, now it is a valuable reference.
