Every radiograph starts long before the exposure. This handbook shows you how to reason through each step, from the imaging request to the acceptance decision.
Positioning diagrams alone rarely explain what to do when the patient in front of you cannot extend an elbow, stand for a chest projection, or hold their breath. Clinical Radiography: A Practical Handbook connects patient care, radiation protection, projection geometry, exposure selection, and image critique into one consistent way of thinking that you can carry from the classroom into supervised clinical practice in the United States.
Across 16 chapters, the book moves from professional foundations to regional examinations and then to mobile, perioperative, pediatric, older adult, and contrast work. Each chapter opens with a clinical case, sets clear learning objectives, and closes by resolving that case.
Inside you will find:
-
Patient-centered practice: reading the imaging request, confirming identity, communication, consent, infection prevention, documentation, and escalation
-
Radiation protection explained precisely, including justification, optimization, beam restriction, pregnancy assessment, and occupational safety
-
Projection geometry and positioning foundations: planes, beam and detector relationships, magnification, markers, and immobilization
-
Exposure-factor reasoning for digital acquisition: kVp, mAs, scatter, grids, automatic exposure control, technique charts, and exposure indices
-
A systematic image critique sequence for coverage, rotation, alignment, noise, contrast, artifacts, and repeat decisions
-
Regional chapters on the chest, abdomen, upper and lower limbs, pelvis and hip, spine, skull, facial bones, ribs, and sternum, with adaptations for patients who cannot achieve the routine position
-
More than 100 worked cases, 64 educational illustrations printed in color, quick-reference tables, a glossary, an abbreviations list, an index, and 752 references to published standards and literature
Written for student radiographers and radiologic technology students, newly qualified radiographers building confidence, and medical students who want to understand how projection radiographs are acquired and evaluated. Use it alongside your program curriculum, local protocols, and qualified supervision.
Build the reasoning behind every projection. Add this handbook to your clinical kit today.
