Learn to produce the most accurate radiographic images on the first try with Radiographic Image Analysis, 4th Edition. This thoroughly updated guide walks you through the steps of how to carefully evaluate an image, how to identify the improper positioning or technique that caused a poor image, and how to correct the problem. For each procedure, there is a diagnostic-quality radiograph along with several examples of unacceptable radiographs, a complete list of radiographic evaluation guidelines, and detailed discussions on how each of the evaluation points is related to positioning and technique. Each unacceptable radiograph is accompanied by a description of the misaligned anatomical structures, how the patient was mis-positioned, and how to adjust technique to obtain an acceptable radiograph. "The whole text is well presented." Reviewed by Jenny May on behalf of Radiography, July 2015 Poorly positioned example images appear at the end of procedures to test your knowledge. Spotlights concepts boxes highlight the most important information as it appears in the chapters and directs readers to more information on these topics. Chapter objectives, key terms, and outlines help in mastering important concepts and information. NEW! Expanded sections on pediatric, obesity, and trauma digital radiography provides the most pertinent and up-to-date information needed for clinical success. NEW! Reformatted content surrounding procedures includes the following to help you identify correctly and incorrectly positioned patients: accurately positioned projection with labeled anatomy photograph of an accurately positioned model table that provides a detailed one-to-one correlation between the positioning procedures and image analysis guidelines discussion, with correlating images, on identifying how the patient, central ray, or image receptor were poorly positioned if the projection does not demonstrate an image analysis guideline discussion of topics relating to positioning for patient condition variations and non-routine situations photographs of bones and models positioned as indicated to clarify information and demonstrate anatomy alignment when distortion makes it difficult practice images of the projection that demonstrate common procedural errors NEW! Two-color design helps you read and retain pertinent information. NEW! Updated boxed material summarizes important analysis details and provides a quick reference. NEW! Highlighted table data offers a new format to aid in the understanding of field size requirements using direct-capture digital radiography.
Get all the tools you need to hone your imaging and evaluation skills with Kathy Martensen’s Workbook for Radiographic Image Analysis, 4th Edition. This complete workbook offers ample opportunities to practice and apply information from the main Radiographic Image Analysis text via study questions for each procedure, positioning and technique exercises, and additional suboptimal images to identify. This new workbook edition features an expansion of pediatric, obesity, and trauma sections; plus, you can check your work in the answer key found in the back of the book. Positioning and technique exercises prepare you for success in radiography practice. Suboptimal images with questions ensure you know and understand what features need to be visible in an image and how to adjust when the images are incorrect or poor. Extra images offer additional practice with identifying poor quality images and recognizing how they are produced. Study questions reinforce text material and prepare you for certification. NEW! More suboptimal images for analysis and correction help you hone your evaluation skills. NEW! Expansion of pediatric, obesity, and trauma sections provide pertinent information needed for clinical success.
