Book description
Praise for this book:
Remarkable...a valuable, easy-to-use desk or pocket reference for
medical imaging professionals at every level.--ADVANCE for
Imaging & Radiation Oncology
Now in its second edition,
Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Positioning
is a practical how-to guide that provides the detailed information you
need to reproducibly obtain high-quality radiographic images for optimal
evaluation and interpretation of normal, abnormal, and pathological
anatomic findings. It shows positioning techniques for all standard
examinations in conventional radiology, with and without contrast, as
well as basic positioning for CT and MRI. For each type of study a
double-page spread features an exemplary radiograph, positioning
sketches, and helpful information on imaging technique and parameters,
criteria for the best radiographic view, and patient preparation.
Clearly organized to be used in day-to-day practice, the atlas serves as
an ideal companion to Moeller and Reif's Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy
and their three-volume Pocket Atlas of Cross-Sectional Anatomy
.Highlights of the second edition:New chapters on positioning in MRI
and CT, including multislice CT
A greatly expanded section on mammography
Special features, including information on the advantages of a
specific view, variations of positions, and practical tips and tricks
Nearly 500 excellent radiographs and drawings demonstrating the
relationship between correct patient positioning and effective
diagnostic images
Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Positioning, Second Edition
is an excellent desk or pocket reference for radiologists, radiology
residents, and for radiologic technologists. "Any pocket-sized
handbook that provides in-depth coverage of multiple medical imaging
modalities is a rare and remarkable thing. The second edition of
Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Positioning
is just such a book, containing nearly every modality, including
conventional radiography, CT, MRI, angiography, and mammography...a
valuable, easy-to-use desk or pocket reference for medical imaging
professionals at every level."--ADVANCE for Imaging & Radiation
Oncology_x000D_ _x000D_ “We suggest this publication not only to
radiologists, radiology residents, radiologic technologists and
technicians, but also to professionals and students working in nuclear
medicine to acquire autonomous knowledge of instruments and
information.” European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and
Molekular Imaging March 2010
_x000D_ _x000D_ "This pocket book presents in a condensed but
comprehensive manner the proper positioning for all radiographic
procedures...This second edition has been enriched by new chapters on
positioning in MRI and CT, including multislice CT, and by an expanded
section on mammography...Each positioning is documented by clear
drawings and by the related radiological image, except for the positions
in CT and MR studies, which are presented by drawings, albeit very
demonstrative...a solid companion to the three volumes "Pocket
Atlas of Sectional Anatomy," in which the same authors present, in
a comprehensive and clear manner, the basic positioning and related
radiographic images for CT and MR...will be of great value in the
day-to-day practice of the radiologic technologists, but in particular
it will be very useful to the Residents in Radiology."--Clinical
Imaging_x000D_ _x000D_ "A comprehensive pocket-sized guide of
general radiography techniques, with lots of suggestions for different
adaptations if the standard positions are not possible. With each
technique there is a particularly good section "Criteria for a Good
Radiographic View" which gives guidance on the optimum image,
including the area or joint space that should be visuali[z]ed and its
alignment. A radiograph of each position is included."--RAD
