Drawn from the bestselling Clark’s Positioning in Radiography, this pocket handbook provides clear and practical advice to help radiographers in their day-to-day work. Designed for rapid reference, it covers how to position the patient and the central ray, describes the essential image characteristics and illustrates each radiographic projection with a positioning photograph and a radiograph.

This second edition of Clark’s Pocket Book for Radiographers is an accompaniment to the 13th edition of Clark’s Positioning in Radiography, a comprehensive bench-top guide to radiographic technique and positioning. The authors considered that it is important for radiographers and students to have access to an additional text available in a ‘pocket’ format that is easily transportable and convenient to use during every day radiographic practice.
