Featuring a new full-color design and packed with illustrations, LIMITED RADIOGRAPHY, 4e is an ideal resource for beginning radiography students and limited radiographer training. It offers a comprehensive presentation of both core radiographic theory and radiographic anatomy and positioning -- teaching you the theory as well as equipping you with the skills you will need to know on the job. Each chapter begins with an explanation of its correlation to the Limited Scope of Practice in Radiography Examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists ® (ARRT), while end-of-chapter Review Questions help you test your own progress. The text's focus on professional skills -- such as communication, patient care and safety, and radiation safety -- ensures you learn best practices in radiography. In addition, five new chapters walk you step-by-step through radiographic positioning procedures -- complete with illustrations.
