Best Text Book For Radiographic Positioning Classes One and Two!
Customer Rating:
I graduated back in 2004 from Baker College of Owosso's Radiology Technology Program and we used this textbook. This textbook is great for an easy understanding of anatomy and radiographic exams. The one-page exam layouts are very efficient, and again easy to comprehend. It will come very handy too, later on, when you've graduated and end up pulling it out for those rare exams you do, maybe one or two times a year, (Cough), Mastoids! (Laugh). So please, do not throw it in the trash or give it back to your bookstore!
When I was in my clinical setting, I worked along side with other students from a different program. They were very jealous of my one large textbook, compared to their 3 large textbooks! Apparently their text was divided amongst three volumes, crazy!
Anyhow, I would definitely recommend this text for any student and for any program that is presently not using it. The workbook is a great addition with reinforcing the material, so I would definitely recommend getting both.
Good luck to all you future Radiographers out there.

It's the 'BIBLE' for Radiology Technology students!
Customer Rating:
Hello, it's the ideal book for RT students! If your program doesn't use this book...change schools. And if they don't advise the study guides that go with it...get them anyway!
PROs: covers almost all the topics you need for positioning courses CONs: heavy, heavy, heavy (weighs a lot)
Hey, if you can get it used without much highlighting in it...go for it.
Best of luck! I graduated in 2003 from RT school!
Excellent

Very good study materials for student and registered x-ray techs. It gives you all the details you need for each procedure. Used it more to prepare for my clinicals than any other materials given to us during school.
Great Book
