| Average Customer Rating: Good Product, needs more details I like the size of this book, but it lacks alot of information, like cassette size, CW or LW and some of the views for certain exams. It has most of the basics, but I was expecting more. Great Product! This pocket guide has been very useful to me especially during clinic when you can't really carry around your textbook. You can just take a quick peek in the guide to find different positions and there are also charts for you to write what techniques that work for you. Definately a good buy! WANABRADTECH The best thing about this pocket manual is that you get to see what you are suppose to see as an x-ray, so if you pull it out of your side pocket it gives you a quick reference of the proper x-ray All Basics If you are a student you may find this OK....but it is alittle bulky to be in your pocket and the pages are very thin so it's not very durable. I was hoping that since it was a pocket guide it would have the less common positions that we rarely shoot and therefore may need alittle help remembering....but alas...the first time I whipped it out of my backpack thinking it would save face it didn't have the position I was looking for. So if you want a guide of the basics this will keep you from making out those notecards I see students glancing at...but if you've been at it a while and are more interested in special views, I really can't recommend it. Incrediable Rescource Even though our Proffessor wanted us to us the Bontrager Pocket book, I still invested in the Merrills version.. It is just so much better. Not only is ther positioning information, but on each is a good representation of a good quality exposure. Most student budgets are tight.. but the money spent on this item is well worth it. It is worth noting that it is much cheaper on Amazon than on campus. | |
