CLARK’s
HANDBOOK
FOR
RADIOGRAPHERS
Drawn from the renowned reference Clark’s Positioning in Radiography,
this bestselling pocket handbook provides clear and practical advice to
help radiographers in their day-to-day work. Designed and structured
for rapid reference, it covers how to position the patient and image
receptor as well as the direction and location of the beam, describes the
essential image characteristics, and illustrates each radiographic pro-
jection with a positioning photograph and corresponding radiographic
image.
This third edition has been updated to include new positioning photo-
graphs reflecting the dominance of direct digital radiography detectors
(DDRs), helpful information on the importance of optimisation, expo-
sure factors and geometry in image production, evaluating exposure in
digital imaging and aspects of bariatric imaging.
