Quick Navigation

Overview

LIMITED RADIOGRAPHY, 4e is an ideal resource for beginning radiography students and limited radiographer training. Presenting both core radiographic theory and radiographic anatomy and positioning, the text teaches students theory as well as the skills they will need to know as professionals. Each chapter begins with an explanation of its correlation to the Limited Scope of Practice in Radiography Examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists ® (ARRT), while end-of-chapter Review Questions help students test what they've learned as they progress through the text. More student friendly than ever, the fourth edition features an all-new full-color design and more than 400 new images. It also includes five new chapters providing step-by-step instructions and images for radiographic positioning -- making this book a truly comprehensive resource for limited radiographers.
