This complete foundational text and reference covers the core curriculum for radiography students with vivid illustrations and thoroughly updated content. In the 4th edition of this highly-respected text, content is updated and modified to convey the pathology knowledge radiographers need at the appropriate comprehension level for better understanding. The book covers all of the essential information radiography students need, including disease processes, their radiographic appearance, and their treatment. Radiographers Notes in every chapter provide helpful suggestions for producing optimal radiographs for each organ system and teach students to deal effectively with varying patient needs. Thorough coverage of alternative imaging modalities encourages readers to think about other imaging modalities that may be needed to ensure proper diagnosis. Summary of diseases, their locations, their radiographic appearance, and treatment tables provide a review tool for students and a quick reference guide for practitioners. Treatment sections provide useful background on certain treatment and prognosis information for a more thorough understanding of pathology. Organized by body systems, information is easily located and convenient for studying one area at a time in a logical sequence. Written for radiographers, the text provides the most up-to-date, logically organized presentation of radiographic pathology available. Enhanced imaging appearances include multiple modalities such as SPECT, PET, CT, MR, ultrasound, and fusion. Now covers the pathology of hepatitis variations, SARS, anthrax, and Marfan's syndrome for more comprehensive information. An expanded discussion of how CT and MR are used to diagnose pathological processes helps students understand the benefits of using these scans. New and updated radiograph images of the newly added pathologies. More images for alternative modalities, including nuclear, ultrasound, PET, CT, and vascular imaging.

This reference provides the reader with a solid foundation in pathology. Packed with pedagogical features including outlines, objectives, review questions, anatomical drawings, and a glossary, this readable book focuses on the most commonly encountered pathologies and those which demand special care. An instructor's manual, workbook, examaster, and slide set are also available.

Provides a basic working knowledge of pathology as it pertains to diagnostic medical radiography.

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
