Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy, 11th Edition
**Selected for Doody's Core Titles® 2024 in Radiologic Technology**
Gain the knowledge and skills you need to succeed as a radiologic technologist! Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy, 11th Edition provides the essential information that you need to perform hundreds of radiographic procedures and produce clear, diagnostic-quality images. Easy-to-follow guidelines help you learn anatomy and positioning and minimize imaging errors. In fact, each positioning page spotlights just one projection, with bulleted information on the left side of the page and positioning photos, anatomical drawings, and correctly positioned and correctly exposed radiographic images on the right. Written by imaging experts John P. Lampignano and Leslie E. Kendrick, this book also provides excellent preparation for the ARRT® certification examination.
New to this edition
- NEW! Updated photographs visually demonstrate the latest digital technology used in radiography with new radiographs as well as images of positioning and new equipment.
- NEW! The latest ARRT content specifications and ASRT curriculum guidelines prepare you for certification exams and for clinical practice.
- NEW! Updated radiographic projections have been reviewed and recommended by orthopedists, radiologists, educators, and technologists.
- NEW! Expanded information on the bariatric patient is included, and coverage of outdated technology and positions is eliminated.
Key Features
- Labeled radiographs (radiographic overlays) identify key radiographic anatomy and landmarks to help you recognize anatomy and determine if you have captured the correct diagnostic information on images.
- Coverage of the latest ARRT® content specifications and ASRT curriculum guidelines prepares you for certification exams and for clinical practice.
- Display of just one projection per page in Positioning chapters presents a manageable amount of information in an easily accessible format.
- Positioning pages for projections show positioning photographs plus radiographic and anatomy-labeled images side-by-side on a single page with written summaries of topics such as clinical indications, technical factors, patient and body part positions, recommended collimation field size, and evaluation criteria.
- Clinical Indications sections on positioning pages summarize conditions or pathologies that may be demonstrated by structures or tissues in an examination or projection.
- Evaluation Criteria on positioning pages describe the evaluation/critique process that should be completed for each radiographic image.
- Pediatric, Geriatric, and Bariatric Patient Considerations help you accommodate unique patient needs.
- Critique images at the end of positioning chapters test your understanding of common positioning and technical errors found in radiographs.
- Review questions are provided on the Evolve website.

Main features of the textbook:
Comprehensive coverage of radiographic positioning
The textbook covers all the basic aspects of radiographic positioning, providing detailed instructions for the correct positioning of the patient when performing various types of radiographic examinations. Each chapter discusses a specific anatomical area and includes clear and easy-to-understand steps that must be followed to achieve optimal imaging. This structure makes the textbook extremely useful for students who are just starting out in the field of radiology.
Anatomical details and visual materials
Visuals are a major focus of this edition. The textbook includes over 2,000 illustrations, photographs, and diagrams that demonstrate proper patient positioning and demonstrate the associated anatomy. The visualizations include both actual X-ray images and anatomical diagrams that help readers understand how positioning affects the quality of the final image. Detailed diagrams and color illustrations also help make complex concepts easier to understand.
Practical guidelines and clinical advice
The textbook provides a wealth of practical guidance and advice to help radiologists and technicians achieve more accurate and quality results in their work. Clinical notes and suggestions for optimizing positioning in specific cases, such as patients with disabilities or limited mobility, are included. These practical elements make the textbook particularly valuable for those who face challenges in their daily work.
Focus on patient safety and image quality
One of the main goals of the textbook is to educate readers on how to minimize radiation exposure while achieving high-quality X-ray images. This edition includes the latest protocols and techniques aimed at improving patient safety and providing diagnostically valuable images. Each procedure is described in detail with guidelines for equipment settings and technical parameters that must be followed.
Updated content and new technologies
This 11th edition has been updated with the latest technologies and methods in radiology. New sections have been included that address advances in digital radiography, computer-aided tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The textbook also discusses innovative positioning approaches that can improve the diagnostic process and reduce the risk of errors.
Online resources and additional materials
The textbook is accompanied by additional online resources that include interactive exercises, self-tests, and videos that demonstrate various positioning techniques. These resources are especially useful for students who want to consolidate their knowledge and prepare for exams. The online platform provides an opportunity for additional practice and mastery of the key skills necessary for a successful career in radiology.
Conclusion
Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy, 11th Edition is a must-have for anyone involved in radiographic positioning and anatomy. With its rich visualization, practical guidance, and up-to-date information, this textbook is a valuable tool for learning and professional development. Whether you are a student just entering the field of radiology or an experienced radiologist looking for additional resources to enhance your skills, this edition will provide you with the knowledge and confidence you need to succeed in your practice.
