2.0 out of 5 stars cheap in quality and quantity, October 22, 1999

This review is from: Radiographic Anatomy and Positioning (Hardcover)

My class was instructed that we would be using this book and in our second semester the books began to fall apart. We also found that the amount of information was lacking. With permission from our classroom and clinical instructors we are being allowed to utilize the Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positions and Radiologic Procedures. This has been the learning tool of Technologists for years and we switched because some one came out with a cheaper product. Just remember you pay for what you get.

1.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED, March 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Radiographic Anatomy and Positioning (Hardcover)

We used this text for one of our introductory courses for one year. The layout of the material is well organized and concise which we liked. However, we found the anatomy art to be difficult to relate to. Much of it was to small or the color was not appropriate to distinguish between the anatomy. For example, the anatomy on page 104 is done poorly. Radiography students need much more detail than is shown in this text. We also feel that the students need to be exposed to more than just the basic projections. The radiographs are average and we feel that students need more quality. We are returning to Merrill's for all of our courses because it is comprehensive and is the best value overall for the students.
