This Golden Anniversary Edition of Merrill's Atlas has been completely revised with full-color throughout. The 3-volume set covers anatomy and positioning for all bone groups and body systems in the first two volumes, then presents special imaging topics and modalities in the third volume. * Includes special icon to identify essential projections to help students and instructors focus on the most important material that students must master. * Features diagnostic quality radiograph reproduction which assures that the reader can visualize what the radiograph is intended to demonstrate. * Provides summary of projections tables which list all the projections described in the chapter to give a general overview of the chapter and also to serve as a study guide for students. * Includes bulleted, step-by-step instructions to help the reader quickly understand how to perform a procedure. * Presents over 400 projections making it the most comprehensive text and reference on the market - invaluable as a student text as well as a practical reference after graduation. Spanish version of previous edition also available, ISBN: 84-8174-174-4

Designed for quick reference in the clinical environment, Merrill's Pocket Guide to Radiography is a pocket-sized companion to Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning and Procedures, 12th Edition. This handy resource summarizes essential information for 170 of the most frequently requested projections you'll encounter. Authors Eugene Frank, Barbara Smith, and Bruce Long concisely present just the information you'll need for quick reference -- keep it with you and keep Merrill's close at hand! Diagnostic-quality radiographs demonstrate desired imaging results. Key positioning information is formatted for quick and easy access. Each procedure is presented in a two-color, two-page spread with bulleted, step-by-step procedures and accompanying images on the top page; and a chart with spaces to fill in the specific techniques used for a particular projection on the bottom page. Section dividers with tabs offer quick access to each section. Computed radiography information allows you to make the subtle adjustments necessary to obtain optimal results with CR. Exposure technique chart for every projection helps reduce the number of repeat radiographs and improves overall image quality. Abbreviations and external landmark charts on the inside covers provide quick access to frequently needed information. kVp values are included for each projection. Compensating filter information included for those projections where filters are used. New exposure index column for use with digital imaging systems Specific collimation settings for all projections done using DR Systems

**Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA) McGuffey Longevity Award Winner, 2024** **Selected for Doody's Core Titles® 2024 with "Essential Purchase" designation in Radiologic Technology** Perfect your positioning skills with the leading radiography text and clinical reference! Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning & Procedures, 15th Edition helps you learn to position patients properly, set exposures, and produce the clear 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. Written by noted educators Jeannean Hall Rollins, Bruce Long, and Tammy Curtis, Merrill's Atlas is not just the gold standard in imaging — it also prepares you for the ARRT exam! - 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, central ray angulation, collimation, KVp values, and evaluation criteria. - Diagnostic-quality radiograph for each projection demonstrates the result the radiographer is trying to achieve. - Coverage of common and unique positioning procedures includes chapters on trauma, surgical radiography, geriatrics/pediatrics, and bone densitometry, to help prepare you for the full scope of situations you will encounter. - Numerous CT and MRI images enhance comprehension of cross-sectional anatomy and help in preparing for the Registry examination. - Frequently requested projections are identified with a special icon to help you focus on what you need to know as an entry-level radiographer. - Image receptor and collimation sizes plus other key information are provided for each relevant projection. - Bulleted lists provide clear instructions on how to correctly position the patient and body part when performing procedures. - Summary tables provide quick access to projection overviews, guides to anatomy, pathology tables for bone groups and body systems, and exposure technique charts. - NEW! Updated content reflects the advances and continuing evolution of digital imaging technology. - NEW! Revised positioning techniques reflect the latest American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) standards, and include photos of current digital imaging for the lower limb, scoliosis, pain management, and the swallowing dysfunction. - NEW! Added digital radiographs provide greater contrast resolution for improved visualization of pertinent anatomy.

Learn the professional and patient care skills you need for clinical practice! A clear, concise introduction to the imaging sciences, Introduction to Radiologic Sciences and Patient Care meets the standards set by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Curriculum Guide and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Task List for certification examinations. Covering the big picture, expert authors Arlene M. Adler and Richard R. Carlton provide a complete overview of the radiologic sciences professions and of all aspects of patient care. More than 300 photos and line drawings clearly demonstrate patient care procedures. Step-by-step procedures make it easy to follow learn skills and prepare for clinicals. Chapter outlines and objectives help you master key concepts. Key Terms with definitions are presented at the beginning of each chapter. Up-to-date references are provided at the end of each chapter. Appendices prepare you for the practice environment by including practice standards, professional organizations, state licensing agencies, the ARRT code of ethics, and patient's rights information. 100 new photos and 160 new full-color line drawings show patient care procedures. Updates ensure that you are current with the Fundamentals and Patient Care sections of the ASRT core curriculum guidelines. New and expanded coverage is added to the chapters on critical thinking, radiographic imaging, vital signs, professional ethics, and medical law. Student resources on a companion Evolve website help you master procedures with patient care lab activities and review questions along with 40 patient care videos.

With more than 400 projections, Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning & Procedures, 14th Edition makes it easier to for you to learn anatomy, properly position the patient, set exposures, and take high-quality radiographs. This definitive text has been reorganized to align with the ASRT curriculum — helping you develop the skills to produce clear radiographic images. It separates anatomy and positioning information by bone groups or organ systems — using full-color illustrations to show anatomical anatomy, and CT scans and MRI images to help in learning cross-section anatomy.
