Abstract: "Featuring Ken Bontrager's pioneering "show-and-tell" approach to radiographic positioning, this essential radiography text provides a remarkably clear, easy-to-follow presentation of about 200 common radiographic exams. Each projection is presented on its own page with step-by-step instructions accompanied to corresponding positioning photographs, radiographic images, and anatomical drawings."--Jacket.
