About the book
Covers preliminary steps in radiography, radiation projection, and terminolgy. It then teaches anatomy and positioning for each bone group or organ system. The student learns to position the patient properly so that the resulting radiography provides the information the physician needs to correctly diagnose the patient's problem. This book also provides basic information about a variety of special imaging modalities, such as mobile, surgical, geriatrics, computed tomography, and cardiac catherization.
