Widely recognized as the gold standard of positioning texts, this highly-regarded, comprehensive resource features more than 400 projections and excellent full-color illustrations augmented by MRI images for added detail to enhance the anatomy and positioning presentations. In three volumes, it covers preliminary steps in radiography, radiation protection, and terminology, as well as anatomy and positioning information in separate chapters for each bone group or organ system. High-quality images of commonly requested projections, as well as those less commonly requested, show the reader how to properly position the patient so the resulting radiograph provides information needed to correctly diagnose the problem. Information is also provided on a variety of special imaging modalities and situations, including mobile radiography, operating room radiography, computed tomography, cardiac catheterization, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine technology, bone densitometry, positron emission tomography, and radiation therapy. Faculty who are teaching with Merrill's Atlas may wish to contact their Elsevier sales representative for information about the Electronic Image Collection and the Instructor's Curriculum Resource.

<li>All currently performed projections are carefully displayed in consistent format, so they can be easily understood and performed by both students and practitioners.</li>
<li>Essential projections those most frequently performed and determined to be necessary for entry-level competency are identified with a special icon.</li>
<li>Full color anatomy drawings and positioning photos greatly enhance the learning value of the text, making what has always been the best-illustrated anatomy and positioning text an even more effective resource.</li>
<li>Diagnostic-quality radiographs provide the best possible examples of the radiographs that the reader will be striving to produce, clearly showing what the radiograph is intended to demonstrate.</li>
<li>Bulleted lists and step-by-step instructions give clear guidance on how to correctly position the patient or body part and how to perform procedures.</li>
<li>Summaries of anatomy at the beginning of each procedural chapter identify and describe anatomical terms in a table that enables readers to easily refer to explanations of the anatomy described in the chapter.</li>

Mathematics

This handy pocket companion concisely 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 190 of the most common radiographic projections. Unique to this pocket guide is the inclusion of computed radiography information. The guide leaves space for the user to make notes needed for easy access in the practice setting.Each projection is presented on a two-page spread, ideal for quick reference in the clinical setting.Information on patient positioning is bulleted for at-a-glance, step-by-step reference.Uses an eye-catching icon to remind users of the special positioning needs of computed radiography.Includes an exposure technique chart for each projection.Allows space for writing in both manual and AEC techniques.Illustrates the most common mobile projections.Now includes a number of additional mobile projections.Presents radiographs for each projection spread.Offers information on computed radiography (CR). A special icon alerts users to the special positioning adjustments needed for CR.

Reference

Encyclopedias & Subject Guides

This guide is designed to serve as a handy reference for practitioners, a study tool for students and a companion to the field's "bible", "Merril's Atlas", for both. It contains 121 of the most commonly requested and used radiographic procedures. Each card page carries a photograph of the procedure and a concise explanation summarizing the patient's position, part position, location of the central ray and respiratory instructions. The reverse side of the card then provides a grid with space to record information on: position/projection, cm part thickness, mA, time, mAs, kVp, distance, film size, film screen speed, grid, and other details. This second edition contains an update of references, added respiration instructiuons for appropriate procedures, revised terminology and headings to conform with those in the 7th edition of "Merrill's Atlas", and streamlined and clarified central ray instructions.
