Review & Description

With more than 400 projections presented, Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positioning and Procedures remains the gold standard of radiographic positioning texts. Authors Eugene Frank, Bruce Long, and Barbara Smith have designed this comprehensive resource to be both an excellent textbook and also a superb clinical reference for practicing radiographers and physicians. You'll learn how to properly position the patient so that the resulting radiograph provides the information needed to reach an accurate diagnosis. An entire chapter has been developed on positioning obese patients. Complete information is included for the most common projections, as well as for those less commonly requested.

• Comprehensive coverage of anatomy and positioning makes Merrill's Atlas the most in-depth text and reference available for radiography students and practitioners.
• Essential projections that are frequently performed are identified with a special icon to help you focus on what you need to know as an entry-level radiographer.
• Full-color presentation helps visually clarify key concepts.
• Summaries of pathology are grouped in tables in positioning chapters for quick access to the likely pathologies for each bone group or body system.
• Special chapters, including trauma, surgical radiography, geriatrics/pediatrics, and bone densitometry help prepare you for the full scope of situations you will encounter.
• Exposure technique charts outline technique factors to use for the various projections in the positioning chapters.
• Projection summary tables at the beginning of each procedural chapter offer general chapter overviews and serve as handy study guides.
• Bulleted lists provide clear instructions on how to correctly position the patient and body part.
• Anatomy summary tables at the beginning of each positioning chapter describe and identify the anatomy you need to know in order to properly position the patient, set exposures, and take high-quality radiographs.
• Anatomy and positioning information is presented in separate chapters for each bone group or organ system, all heavily illustrated in full-color and augmented with CT scans and MRI images, to help you learn both traditional and cross-sectional anatomy.

• Includes a unique new section on working with and positioning obese patients.
• Offers coverage of one new compensating filter.
• Provides collimation sizes and other key information for each relevant projection.
• Features more CT and MRI images to enhance your understanding of cross-sectional anatomy and prepare you for the Registry exam.
• Offers additional digital images in each chapter, including "stitching" for long-length images of the spine and lower limb.
• Standardized image receptor sizes use English measurements with metric in parentheses.
• Depicts the newest equipment with updated photographs and images.

Review & Description

This is the only book of its kind in prenatal diagnosis that details the most common sonographically detectable fetal syndromes. It has an easy-to-follow approach of using lists and patterns of malformations to generate a differential diagnosis of the possible syndrome involved. The reader is then led to the more detailed description of each syndrome to determine the exact final diagnosis. The new edition incorporates 3D ultrasound throughout the book, as well as 20 syndromes not previously covered.

• Cross-references sonographic fetal malformations with various syndromes to use patterns of malformation to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
  
• Shows the specific features of each syndrome to help you determine how detectable the syndrome is or how likely the fetus is to have the syndrome.
  
• Offers up-to-date information on how to manage borderline sonographic findings.
  
• Helps you to not only identify what syndrome a given set of malformations is likely to represent, but also understand the clinical implications of that syndrome.

• Includes more than 500 new images, many of which are 3D ultrasound images.
  
• Covers 20 new syndromes, including Perlman Syndrome, Cerebro-Costo-Mandibular Syndrome, Van der Woude Syndrome, Septo-Optic Dysplasia, Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome, Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, Congenital High Airway Obstruction Syndrome (CHAOS), Cloacal Extrophy Sequence, Megacystis-Microcolon-Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome, Opitz Syndrome, and DiGeorge Syndrome.
  
• Takes full advantage of a new full color design to make reference even easier.
  
• Presents ultrasound video ciips as they would appear in practice on the bonus DVD.

Review & Description

This compact resource offers ready access to information on exam preparation, equipment selection, clinical history, lab findings, etiology, and sonographic appearance for a wide variety of disorders. Based on the presenting symptoms, the reader is guided to the proper sections of the pocket guide to find information on disorders likely to cause the symptom. Each disorder section covers the most common causes of the disorder, related abnormal lab values, and sonographic appearance. Following these instructions, the sonographer can provide the physician with everything needed to make an accurate diagnosis, so the patient does not have to be called back for additional scanning.

• Convenient pocket-size format is easy to carry in lab coat pocket and organized with tabs to facilitate finding information quickly.
  
• Carefully chosen information provides just what the sonographer needs to scan competently - allowing the sonographer to gather all information the physician needs to make a diagnosis.
  
• All routine exams are presented for ob/gyn, abdominal, and superficial structures, plus some of the less commonly performed exams for which even experienced sonographers may need help.
  
• Leads the sonographer from the patient's symptoms to the appropriate scanning protocol, rather than assuming a given diagnosis and providing a scanning protocol to confirm the diagnosis.
  
• The Next Step provides more detailed scanning information, alerting the sonographer to other scanning that should be done based on the initial findings.
  
• Line drawings show relevant ultrasound images, providing example of anatomy that should be visualized on the scan.
