a complementary source to a text on principles of radiographic exposure. The book presents over 300 poor quality radiographs, focusing on how each resulted and how to correct a repeated exposure. It encompasses positioning for all routine procedures as well as the technical aspects of the image. The text teaches the student to determine precisely how much and in which direction a position must be moved in order to correct it. The same type of detailed analysis is applied for technical image qualities. EVALUATING RADIOGRAPHS covers every topic listed in the ASRT Curriculum Guide for a course in radiographic film evaluation. The text is divided into three parts: General Considerations, Positioning Quality, and Technical Quality. Open-ended review exercises at the end of each section present dozens of radiographs, allowing students to practice applying the principles learned. An Appendix with over 150 multiple-choice questions, organized by chapter, is provided along with an answer key. This serves as a valuable resource for the instructor as well as a comprehensive review for the student.
