Product Description
This handy pocket companion presents radiographic essentials in a quick-reference format ideal for the clinical setting. Bulleted, step-by-step explanations illustrate how to position the patient for 200 of the most common radiographic projections, including mobile and neonatal procedures. Unique to this guide is coverage of digital radiography and reference radiographs with each positioning presentation.
- Each projection presentation includes a diagnostic-quality radiograph demonstrating the result the radiographer should achieve.
- User-friendly two-page spread design allows the reader to easily access information.
- Bulleted, step-by-step procedures with instructions for positioning the patient and body part help the user perform radiographic exams quickly and efficiently.
- Tabs have been added to help the user find information quickly.
- Two-color format highlights important information.
- A special Digital Radiography (DR) icon alerts the reader to follow specific instructions and make the necessary positioning adjustments when DR is used to get optimal imaging results.
- A handy exposure technique chart for every projection with manual and AEC techniques reduces the need for repeat radiographs and improves image quality.
- A section on mobile projections is a convenient resource for examining patients outside of the radiology suite.
- A helpful list of abbreviations and definitions, plus a diagram and chart of external landmarks inside the covers provides a convenient reference for frequently used information.
- Now includes kVp settings for each projection to help the radiographer set the kVp as appropriate procedure is done.
- Special Compensating Filter icon alerts the reader when using a compensating filter is likely to improve overall image quality.

 Good Product, needs more details November 17, 2009

I like the size of this book, but it lacks alot of information, like cassette size, CW or LW and some of the views for certain exams. It has most of the basics, but I was expecting more.
 Great Product! October 5, 2009

This pocket guide has been very useful to me especially during clinic when you can't really carry around your textbook. You can just take a quick peek in the guide to find different positions and there are also charts for you to write what techniques that work for you. Definately a good buy!

The best thing about this pocket manual is that you get to see what you are suppose to see as an x-ray, so if you pull it out of your side pocket it gives you a quick reference of the proper x-ray

If you are a student you may find this OK....but it is alittle bulky to be in your pocket and the pages are very thin so it's not very durable. I was hoping that since it was a pocket guide it would have the less common positions that we rarely shoot and therefore may need alittle help remembering....but alas...the first time I whipped it out of my backpack thinking it would save face it didn't have the position I was looking for. So if you want a guide of the basics this will keep you from making out those notecards I see students glancing at...but if you've been at it a while and are more interested in special views, I really can't recommend it.

Even though our Proffessor wanted us to us the Bontrager Pocket book, I still invested in the Merrills version.. It is just so much better. Not only is ther positioning information, but on each is a good representation of a good quality exposure. Most student budgets are tight.. but the money spent on this item is well worth it. It is worth noting that it is much cheaper on Amazon than on campus.
