First published in 1939, Clark's Positioning in Radiography is the definitive text on patient positioning for the diagnostic radiography student and practitioner. This fully revised 12th edition ensures that the title retains its pre-eminence in the field, with hundreds of new positioning photographs and brand new explanatory line diagrams, a clearly defined and easy-to-follow structure, and international applicability. The book presents the essentials of radiographic techniques in as practical a way as possible, avoiding unnecessary technical complexity and ensuring that the student and practitioner can find quickly the information that they require regarding a particular position. The experienced author team, expanded for this edition, understand that there is no substitute for a good understanding of basic skills in patient positioning and an accurate knowledge of anatomy to ensure good radiographic practice. All the standard positioning is included in this single volume, accompanied by supplementary positions where relevant and illustrations of pathology where appropriate. Common errors in positioning are also included.

From the stable of 'Clark's Positioning in Radiography' now in it's 12th edition comes this practical pocket-sized rapid reference to radiographic techniques for students and qualified radiographers. This hands-on guide provides clear and practical advice on the radiographer's day-to-day work. It covers how to position the patient and the central ray; gives guidance on the essential image characteristics; and each radiographic projection is illustrated with a positioning photograph and a radiograph, which, together with the key points, help the radiography achieve the ideal image result. This handbook also includes additional information such as image evaluation, medical abbreviations, relevant normal blood values and material on radiation protection; all relevant and useful advice for the radiographer.

This companion to Clark's Positioning in Radiography focuses on special imaging procedures and the different modalities and contrast media studies which are used in the modern imaging department. Bringing together all specialized procedures into one volume, it is the essential source of information for all radiography staff when faced with specialized investigations.The book adopts a systematic approach and is designed to be a clear and comprehensive reference text. Each chapter is highly illustrated and contains sections detailing anatomy and physiology, including common variants, and an overview of recommended imaging procedures.Both conventional and cross-sectional procedures are described, giving details for each procedure on indications/contraindications, position of patient, imaging modality, imaging procedure, contrast media and injection data, and image analysis. Important information is provided on the parameters which affect image production and quality for each of the modalities described in the book.It is ideal for use by radiographers in the clinical environment and also as a teaching/studying resource at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

First published in 1939, Clark’s Positioning in Radiography is the preeminent text on positioning technique for diagnostic radiographers. Whilst retaining the clear and easy-to-follow structure of the previous edition, the thirteenth edition includes a number of changes and innovations in radiographic technique. The text has been extensively updated, including a new section on evaluating images, The 10-point plan, which is linked throughout to a listing of Essential image characteristics for each procedure. The section on digital imaging has been expanded not only to elaborate more extensively on the technology but to demonstrate its various clinical applications. New sections also include imaging informatics and its role in the modern world of medical imaging, holistic approaches to patient care and discussion of the important aspect of the patient journey. Students will also benefit from more detailed reference to positioning errors and how to avoid mistakes, as well as a greater emphasis on standard radiation protection measures and guidance on the most recent radiation dose reference levels for specific examinations. Clark’s Positioning in Radiographycontinues to be the definitive work on radiographic technique for all students on radiography courses, radiographers in practice and trainee radiologists.

Clark's Positioning in Radiography 13E

Bringing together conventional contrast media studies, computed tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide imaging including hybrid imaging using SPECT-CT and PET-CT, DXA studies and digital interventional procedures into one volume, this definitive book is the essential source of information on the use and application of these imaging modalities in radiography. Taking a systemic anatomical approach, carefully designed to be clear and consistent throughout and mirroring that in the popular and established textbook Clark’s Positioning in Radiography, each chapter is highly illustrated and contains sections detailing anatomy, pathologic considerations, procedure methodology, and an evaluation of recommended imaging modalities. Reflecting the latest clinical imaging pathways and referral guidelines including IR(ME)R 2017, the Map of Medicine and RCR iRefer (8E), Clark’s Diagnostic Imaging Procedures will quickly become established as the standard textbook for students of radiography and radiographer assistant trainees and an invaluable desk reference for practising radiologists.
