Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positions & Radiologic Procedures

Rating:
Summary: INDISPENSABLE
Review: AS A FRENCH RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGIST, I WANT YOU TO FORGIVE MY ENGLISH, BUT BOTH THE ATLAS AND GUIDES ARE NECESSARY FOR ANY RADIOLOGIC SERVICE. IT'S A REFERENCE, AND EVEN IF YOU CAN'T READ ENGLISH PERFECTLY YOU CAN REFER TO THEM (ANATOMIC DESCRIPTION, PHOTOGRAPHY OF RADIOLOGIC POSITION AND RESULTS WITH COMMENTARY). MY GUIDE IS IN THE ROOM WHERE I'M WORKINK EVERY MINUTE, BECAUSE IT CONTENTS NOW ALL INFORMATIONS NEEDED AND ADAPTED FOR EACH POSITION AND EACH X-RAY TUBE. THEY HAVE TO BE IN EVERY SCHOOL. WAITING FOR THE FRENCH VERSION AND AN INTERACTIVE CDROM.

Summary: Superb Student and Radiologic Technologist Atlas
Review: Volume 2 of 3 volumes. Wonderful new volume in full color. The addition of color to the chapters that describe abdominal organs makes it much easier to related to and understand the anatomy. Excellent radiographs throughout. The addition of Summary boxes for projections, anatomy, and joints is welcomed. A MUST volume for any student learning radiography (buy the 3 volume set for significant savings). A new chapter on venipuncture by the country's leading expert on the topic. Outdated skull projections have been deleted (thanks!). An excellent updated chapter on mammograpny describes all the ACR projections and the only text to describe male views complete with photos. Edited for easier reading and comprehension. An impressive text written by two of the country's expert radiographers.

Review: Volume 3 of 3 volumes. Wonderful new volume in full color. The addition of color in the technical illustrations makes this one of the best textbooks of it kind because comprehension is much easier. This volume is actually a textbook in itself with 18 specialty chapters written by experts in their modality. A MUST volume for any radiography student. New chapters include Mobile radiography with an excellent introduction to mobile work and suggested technique charts, along with neonatal views. An updated chapter on Computed Radiography (CR) is the best chapter of its kind in any textbook. A new Bone Densitometry chapter is comprehensive and meets the new ASRT curriculum guidelines. Contributed authors are all recognized experts in their field which makes this particular volume timely and updated for instructional use. Completely edited for easier reading and comprehension. This volume is alone worth the price of the book! An impressive volume by two of the country's expert radiographers.
