Radiography Essentials for Limited Practice 2/e

With an easier-to-understand, streamlined style, this new edition
covers all the content areas needed by limited x-ray machine
operators, including x-ray technology, anatomy, pathology and
positioning, patient care, and other clinical skills. The
introductory chapters explain the role of the limited practitioner
and introduce the student to radiographic equipment. The radiologic
sciences section covers the basics of physics, x-ray production,
exposure technique, processing, and radiation safety. The positioning
chapters provide instructions for positioning and imaging of the
upper and lower extremities, pelvis, spine, chest, abdomen, and head.
Other coverage includes legal and ethical concerns, patient care,
infection control, and medical emergencies. The ancillary skills
section covers procedures such as medication administration,
urinalysis, and ECGs.
