Key Features
NEW! Patient positioning photos enhance chapters on the chest, abdomen, pelvis and hip, and bony thorax
NEW! Axiolateral wrist projection and weight-bearing ankle positioning photos and images have been added to the upper and lower extremity chapters
UPDATED! Unit values expressed as SI units, with traditional units provided in parentheses, match the format used in imaging technical texts and the ARRT exam
UPDATED! Gonadal shielding guidelines align with current clinical practice
UPDATED! Collimation field sizes and image receptor sizes are simplified for enhanced clinical relevance
STREAMLINED! Rounded decimal values replace fractions throughout the text
Comprehensive, full-color coverage of anatomy and positioning makes Merrill's Atlas the most in-depth text and reference available for radiography students and practitioners
Guidelines to each projection include a photograph of a properly positioned patient and information on patient position, part position, respiration, central ray angulation, collimation, kVp values, structures shown, and evaluation criteria
Diagnostic-quality radiograph for each projection demonstrates the result the radiographer is trying to achieve
