Learn and perfect your\u003cb\u003e \u003c/b\u003epositioning skills with the leading radiography text and clinical reference! \u003cb\u003eMerrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning \u0026 Procedures, 16th Edition, \u003c/b\u003edescribes how to position patients properly, set exposures, and produce the quality 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. The gold standard in imaging, \u003cb\u003eMerrill's Atlas \u003c/b\u003ecovers all procedures in the ASRT radiography curriculum and prepares you for the ARRT exam.\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eNEW!
