Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning and Procedures – 3-Volume Set, 16th Edition
Learn and perfect your positioning skills with the leading radiography text and clinical reference! Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning and Procedures, Sixteenth Edition, describes how to position patients properly, set exposures, and produce the quality radiographs needed to make accurate diagnoses. Guidelines to both common and uncommon projections prepare you for every kind of patient encounter. Anatomy and positioning information is organized by bone group or organ system, and coverage of special imaging modalities includes CT, MRI, sonography, radiation therapy, and more. The gold standard in imaging, Merrill's Atlas covers all procedures in the ASRT radiography curriculum and prepares you for the ARRT exam.
