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.

A great little book. It has pictures of positions (and radiographs to match), and charts to fill in your own information.

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.

This pocket sized Merrill's is great. I work at temporary assignments and find it very helpful when special views outside the routine are requested.
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!

For at least a few years (and while you're a student), carry this sucker in your scrubs. Make notes, draw, use it like it's supposed to be used. Mine is missing tabs, has smudges all over it, but it's still important.
