The Radiographic Positioning Guide for Medical Imaging Professionals and Students is a comprehensive and essential resource for individuals in the field. It contains detailed instructions for over 200 radiographic positions, covering technical factors, image receptor size and orientation, patient and part positioning, respiration instructions, central ray entrance/exit points and angulation, image quality points, and structures demonstrated.

In addition to the thorough instructions, the guide also includes suggested technical factor settings for digital imaging systems for all positions (excluding nephrotomography). This ensures that users have the necessary information to obtain high-quality images.

One of the standout features of this guide is the inclusion of representative radiographic images, which can be enlarged for closer inspection. This allows users to visualize how the properly positioned human model should appear with the collimated area of interest and central ray entry point.

The guide also includes a helpful "NOTE" tab for every position, where users can save techniques, special terms, or any other helpful information related to that specific position. This makes it easy to access important notes when needed.

Furthermore, users can utilize the search function to find specific terms in position titles and/or instructions. This makes it quick and convenient to locate the desired information within the guide.

In order to cater to individual preferences and needs, the guide offers two additional functions. The "My Routines" function allows users to group selected positions into a saved routine, helping to streamline their workflow. The "My Notes" function enables users to save notes that are not directly related to a specific position, providing flexibility for personal annotations or reminders.

The content of the guide has been developed using the ARRT Content Specifications, ensuring that it covers nearly all ARRT entry-level radiographic positions. Additionally, optional positions that are commonly ordered in clinical practice have been included as handy references.

To ensure accuracy and relevance, the instructions in the guide are specifically referenced to the most recent ASRT Radiography Curriculum and national positioning texts.

Written and edited by two highly experienced Ph.D. radiography educators with over 30 years of teaching experience each, this guide is a trustworthy and authoritative resource in the field.

The Radiographic Positioning Guide for Medical Imaging Professionals and Students serves as a convenient guide for positioning patients and a valuable study aid for radiography students. It is also an excellent reference and review tool for technologists and clinical instructors. With its detailed instructions, helpful features, and expertise from experienced educators, this guide is an indispensable asset for anyone in the medical imaging field.
