Customer Reviews: Very handy to have around This is very nice to have when you have an exam that you havent done in forever. Was that 10 degrees or 15? Much easier to look up something in this book than having to drag out the text book. I had seasoned techs grab this and say they wish they had one when they were starting out.
Great for students! If you're a student in RadTech then you'll like this book. It can't replace your Bontrager text but for clinicals and perhaps the "side-job" you might get as a senior student, it's great.
PROs: small, compact; has some pictures to help out
CONs: won't have ALL the possible positioning techniques/procedures
If you're a visual learner you will like this book as a quick reference.
Good luck!
Good for a new grad!! I am a recent grad and needed a another position book to help me with doing x-rays. The good thing about this booklet is that is it compact and sturdy. It has handy conversion tables and calculations to help you when needed. The only thing is compared to the Pocket Altas is that it doesn't have x-ray images so you wont have an idea of how well you positioned the body part for the x-ray.
GREAT! Fast service and great product. Would definitely recommend product and seller to anyone. Would definitely buy from again.
so-so I purchased this to go with Bontrager's Positioning textbook, 6th edn, and some of it's useful but a lot of the technical factors are incorrect. Also, this handbook is a direct outtake from his textbook which I believe is too generalized, and also doesn't list protocols. One specific technicality I noticed was that Bontrager's AP and AP axial clavicle in his textbook states to take exposures on suspended respiration at the end of inhalation (to help elevate clavicles) but his handbook states to take exposure upon expiration. If there are too many discrepancies and not enough basics (like protocols), then I personally would not recommend it.
