First published in 1939, Clark's Positioning in Radiography is the
preeminent text on positioning technique for diagnostic radiographers.
Whilst retaining the clear and easy-to-follow structure of the previous
edition, the thirteenth edition includes a number of changes and
innovations in radiographic technique. The text has been extensively
updated, including a new section on evaluating images, The 10-point
plan, which is linked throughout to a listing of Essential image
characteristics for each procedure. The section on digital imaging has
been expanded not only to elaborate more extensively on the technology
but to demonstrate its various clinical applications.
New sections also include imaging informatics and its role in the modern
world of medical imaging, holistic approaches to patient care and
discussion of the important aspect of the patient journey.
Students will also benefit from more detailed reference to positioning
errors and how to avoid mistakes, as well as a greater emphasis on
standard radiation protection measures and guidance on the most recent
radiation dose reference levels for specific examinations.
Clark's Positioning in Radiography continues to be the definitive work
on radiographic technique for all students on radiography courses,
radiographers in practice and trainee radiologists.
