First published in 1939, Clark's Positioning in Radiography is the definitive
text on patient positioning for the diagnostic radiography student and
practitioner.
This fully-revised 12th edition will ensure that the title retains its pre-
eminence in the field, with hundreds of new positioning photographs and brand
new explanatory line diagrams, a clearly defined and easy-to-follow structure,
and international applicability.
The book presents the essentials of radiographic techniques in as practical a
way as possible, avoiding unnecessary technical complexity and ensuring that
the student and practitioner can find quickly the information that they require
regarding a particular position.
The experienced author team, expanded for this revision, understand that there
is no substitute for a good understanding of basic skills in patient
positioning and an accurate knowledge of anatomy to ensure good radiographic
practice.
All the standard positioning is included in this single volume, accompanied by
supplementary positions where relevant and illustrations of pathology where
appropriate.
Common errors in positioning are also included.
