The first source to provide positioning information, this book not only provides information for erect positioning of the patient, it also provides valuable information on quality assurance. Chiropractic Radiography and Quality Assurance Handbook presents information on radiographic positioning in chart and illustrated formats as well as details on collimation, film size and placement. The book begins logically with basic radiography concept and principles, discusses safety, the proper sequence for taking films, and correct radiography of particular parts of the anatomy. Also covering quality assurance, this book discusses darkroom and film storage as well as film processing quality control, film artifact identification and problem solving. Chiropractic institutions and practicing clinicians (radiographers and chiropractors alike) as well as radiographic equipment manufacturers and radiographic technology students will find this book useful.
