Key Features
- NEW! Respiration heading emphasizes the importance of proper breathing instructions for maximizing image quality.
- NEW and UPDATED! Additional images enhance coverage of mammography.
- UPDATED! Unit values expressed as SI units, with traditional units provided in parentheses, match the format used in imaging technical texts and the ARRT exam.
- UPDATED! Gonadal shielding guidelines align with current clinical practice.
- UPDATED! Collimation field sizes and image receptor sizes are simplified for enhanced clinical relevance.
- STREAMLINED! Rounded decimal values replace fractions throughout the text.
- Comprehensive, full-color coverage of anatomy and positioning makes Merrill's Atlas the most in-depth text and reference available for radiography students and practitioners.
- Guidelines to each projection include a photograph of a properly positioned patient and information on patient position, part position, respiration, central ray angulation, collimation, kVp values, structures shown, and evaluation criteria.
- Diagnostic-quality radiograph for each projection demonstrates the result the radiographer is trying to achieve.
