Radiographic techniques and image evaluation - Elizabeth M Unett

This volume provides a systematic accessible approach to radiographic positioning and comprehensive criteria for evaluation of images of the position described.;Recognition in the text of the need for constant evaluation of current practice has led to discussion and consideration of alternative methods of obtaining some projections. Throughout, the students are also encouraged to evaluate their own practice. Learning and revision are enhanced by the photographs and helpful hints that appear with the more formal descriptions of technique. The NRPB and Royal College of Radiologists' recommendations on radiation protection and production of a diagnostic examination with the minimum radiation dose are also taken into account. All general techniques including skull isocentrics, intravenous urography and Barium studies are covered as well as techniques that are increasingly being undertaken by radiographers in these days of role extension.;Key features include: step-by-step descriptions of all actions, including preparation; technical criteria for all aspects of the image, for all projections; the action required to correct faults; hints for successful practice;The book is not only intended for undergraduates in the radiography profession and radiologists for the FRCR but can also be used for reference by those participating in mentorship schemes, or for the setting of image quality standards in conjunction with quality assurance.;This book should be of interest to radiographers and radiologists (registrars) studying for FRCR exams.
