Workbook and Laboratory Manual to Accompany Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy

by Kenneth L. Bontrager, John P. Lampignano

This text is characterized by a clear, easy-to-follow organization that features one projection per page. Positioning and projection information is presented in easy-to-read bulleted format on the left side of the page, and positioning photos, radiographic images and anatomical drawings are aligned onthe right. This "show and tell" style helps students better visualize anatomy and understand positioning. An extensive survey in the US and Canada helps determine which projections are included for students to master so that they gain the most practical and up-to-date preparation possible.

The WB/LM features situational questions on positioning & anatomy with illustrations, film critique questions, laboratory activities and self- evaluation tests. Chapter competencies will replace chapter objectives in the WB/LM. These competencies are similar to objectives but are formatted as a set of tasks that the student should be able to perform after working through the chapter. Information on pathology now included in the text is also found in the WB/LM. Positioning chapters organized by one projection per page Provides an easily accessible reference page "Show-and-tell" presentation Anatomical line drawings Helps students develop the skill to adapt positioning routines as needed
