Product Description
The "bible" of radiography, this comprehensive resource presents more than 400 projections. Clear, step-by-step instructions explain all commonly performed procedures. Merrill's shows how to properly position the patient so that each radiograph provides the information the physician needs to make a correct diagnosis. Separate chapters cover each bone group or organ system, all illustrated in full color and augmented with MRI images as appropriate. This text is so highly regarded that many state boards and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists refer to it when designing their certification exams.
- Special chapters help students prepare for the full scope of experiences as a radiographer.
- Summaries of pathology describe and define conditions.
- Summaries of projections list all projections by anatomical area.
- Exposure technique charts in positioning chapters list technique factors for the various projections.
- New Compensating Filters chapter explains how filters are used in patient positioning, presents photographs of all the filters currently in use, and provides samples of radiographs produced using the filters.
- A special icon identifies selected projections that are enhanced with the use of an appropriate compensating filter.
- Enhanced content includes material on age-related competencies.
- More than 90 new high-quality radiographs include many new MRI and CT images.
- A digital radiography icon identifies projections that require special consideration when using digital imaging.
- Expanded anatomy sections include over 40 CT and MRI images to augment the traditional anatomy art, covering sectional anatomy at the same time as traditional anatomy and preparing students for the proposed new CT competency.
- Abbreviations boxes highlight the abbreviations used in each chapter for quick reference.
- New and revised projections include:
- New axial lateromedial projection (Coyle Method) of the elbow.
- Modified AP oblique projection of the acetabulum (Judet Method).
- Twinning Method, Pawlow Method, and Modified Pawlow Method of imaging the cervicothoracic region modified and simplified into one projection.

 Amazon has gone downhill!!! August 27, 2008
This book is the bible for radiologic techs and needed in many programs however Amazon was incapable of delivering this book. I waited 12 days for this textbook for my classes and finally contacted customer service to ask them to expedite the shipping because I NEEDED it and they told me they did not even have it in stock. After hearing this I looked on the website to see if they still had it listed and they did saying falsely that it could be sent out in two days. I obviously knew that this was not my case because my order was made 10 days ago and could not be sent out nor could they tell me when!!! I used to rely on amazon for all my book needs but they are no longer the high caliber that I once regarded them as.

I am currently using this book in one of my classes and it is packed full of information. For those of you who have a hard time comprehending what medical books are trying to say, this book is packed full of pictures upon how to position the patient and what the radiograph will look like if you properly positioned. The radiographs also have arrows pointing at different parts of the anatomy. I highly encourage this book to anyone who is trying to learn to be a radiologist or radiographic technician.

This is a colorful book. The details are shown clearly and descriptions are understandable. It is the good book for studying.
Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning and Procedures (3 Volume Set) October 11, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This 3-volume atlas set is great for anyone entering a Radiologic technology program (i.e x-ray techs). There are detailed explanations for positioning a patient, as well as detailed pictures of how the patient is to be positioned. This atlas also includes pictures of radiographs of the part to be imaged, as well as "good" and "bad" examples of radiographs. Each chapter pertains to positioning a different body part, or body area, and gives you a summary list of evaluation criteria for the actual radiograph that was taken. This is a great book to invest in, and is very helpful.
