4.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Precise, May 23, 2003

By 

Azrul Yahya (Malaysia) - See all my reviews

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

All that matters here is simplicity and precision. As the title says, Radiographis Positioning and Related Anatomy. You got what you expected: all radiographic positioning (almost all) and related anatomy (enough for x ray procedures but you really need anatomy book by your side)
I highly recommend this book for reference but additional facts should be close at hand for further referrals. The Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy in the National University of Malaysia gives this book a definite thumbs up. I believe many universities do the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Xray techs you NEED this book!, November 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy, 5e (Hardcover)

I have been an xray technologist since 1984. And I thought I knew everything about taking a chest xray...well, I did, back then. My department purchased this book last month and it is an eye opener! I read things in this book that I didn't know or had forgotten. The pictures are great, information priceless. If you are an 'old salt' like me or just a 'young pup' starting out, I highly recommend this book. You'll keep it with you throughout your career.
