Abstract:	Accurate diagnosis depends on properly conducted radiographic imaging. Inappropriate positioning or exposure can lead to diagnoses being missed or incorrect. This handy atlas for radiologic technicians and physicians demonstrates not only how to position patients, but also how to ensure that the images obtained are optimal for diagnosis. This book presents a clear way in which the information is arranged for each type of study, including imaging technique and parameters, positioning, and where appropriate, tips and tricks, makes the whole process much easier. Criteria for a good radiographic view are demonstrated on actual radiologic images. The updated and enlarged 2nd edition now includes all standard positioning and examination techniques for conventional radiology, CT and MR imaging. In the completely new chapter on computed tomography, the use of multi detector CT scanners is covered. Also new to this 2nd edition are the chapter on MR imaging and the much-expanded chapter on mammography. "This Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Positioning" is an ideal companion to "Moeller and Reif's Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy" and their three-volume "Pocket Atlas of Cross-Sectional Anatomy".
