Once considered the domain of the physician, the field of radiology, and the patient information that could be obtained from an understanding of it, is now becoming more widely recognized as pertinent to the health professional's practice. Written for the non-radiologist, Lynn McKinnis's text grounds both students and practicing clinicians in the basic principles of imaging, radiographic evaluation of both normal and pathologic bone, and fractures. The author uses a systems approach, organizing chapters by major regions of human anatomy to providing reference points when viewing patient films..

Strength of the book is the writing style, with an approach that builds from the simple to the complex Principles of Radiographic Imaging presents clear and concise information on radiographic contrast, density, detail and distortion, and ties those concepts together to present an overall picture of radiographic exposure. Radiographic Imaging is a required part of the Radiologic Technology curriculum, so any student who is studying to be a Radiologic Technologist, will need a book such as this to complete the curriculum..

Designed to serve as both a clinical manual and an instructional tool, this text covers the sectional anatomy of the entire body in an easy-to-understand, comprehensive format. The user-friendly design of the book presents actual, diagnostic-quality images from both MRI and CT modalities, side-by-side with line drawings to illustrate the planes of anatomy most commonly imaged. Concise explanations describe the location and function of the anatomy, and each image clearly labels all pertinent anatomic structures to aid in location and identification of anatomy during actual clinical examinations. The result is a practical guide that improves the imaging professional's ability to consistently produce the best possible diagnostic images. Instructor resources are available; please contact your Elsevier sales representative for details.

• Side-by-side presentations of images and line drawings on the same page spread allow the reader to see correlations between line drawings of physical anatomy and actual, diagnostic-quality CT and MR images.
• Over 1,300 images and detailed line drawings demonstrate sectional anatomy for every plane of the body that is commonly imaged.
• Pathology boxes briefly describe common pathologies related to the anatomy being discussed to form connections between the scans in the text and common pathologies readers are likely to encounter in practice.
• Summary tables organize anatomic information for each major muscle group, listing the muscles, points of origin and insertion, and functions.

• Anatomic maps - line drawings that show the angle and level of each scan - appear with the actual scans, so readers can easily access the proper orientation for scanning and identifying anatomy.
• 290 new scans, including more 3D and vascular images, demonstrate current technology.
• A new introductory chapter provides a foundation by teaching the terminology related to sectional anatomy and preparing the reader for more complex content that follows.
