This pocket-sized Handbook for Lampignano and Kendrick’s text has it
all: new radiographic images, revised critiques, and more.
BONTRAGER’S HANDBOOK OF RADIOGRAPHIC POSITIONING AND TECHNIQUES, 9TH
EDITION provides bulleted instructions, along with photos of properly
positioned patients, to help you safely and confidently position for
the most-commonly requested radiographic studies. Suggested techniques
and critique points offer a quick reference for evaluating your own
radiographs, making it an invaluable tool for learning radiographic
positioning in clinical settings.
* POSITIONING CHAPTERS ORGANIZED WITH ONE PROJECTION PER PAGE to
present a snapshot of information in an easily accessible and portable
format.
* Unique page layout — positioning photos and radiographic images
are presented on the same page with the text explanation of each
procedure — to show you how the patient should be positioned and
what the image should look like. * PAGE NUMBER REFERENCES for the
text are included at the bottom of each positioning page so you can
easily refer to the text for greater detail and explanation concerning
a particular position. * 217 PROJECTIONS/POSITIONS AND 4 CONVERSION
CHARTS provide the essential information needed for quick reference.
* POSITIONING PRESENTATIONS INCLUDE POSITIONING INSTRUCTIONS, as well
as: * Collimation guidelines for each projection. * Suggested
starting exposure factors, including kVp, mAs, SID (source-image
receptor distance), type and speed of film and screens, use of grids,
and large or small focal spot. * Suggested AEC (automatic exposure
control) pick-up cell location when photo-timed equipment can be used.
* Space for writing in exposure factors (techniques) for specific
equipment being used. This quick review of information before
beginning a procedure helps assure you that the exam is being
correctly performed with the least possible patient dose.
* Appendices offer additional quick-reference information on patient
dose, abbreviations and acronyms, and various conversion charts,
enabling you to locate important information quickly.

for computed and digital radiography.
* UPDATED! NEW POSITIONING PHOTOS reflect the latest equipment and

examples using the latest technology, and ensure that you are ready to
evaluate your own images.
