Bontrager's Pocket Atlas-Handbook of Radiographic Positioning and Techniques, 4th Edition

by Kenneth L. Bontrager

Pocket-sized atlas, in outline format, demonstrates 216 projections, and includes 317 illustrations and 11 conversion charts. Covers the applied aspects of radiographic positioning and exposure factors. I just graduated from xray school and this book was a lifesaver. If at any time when I was in clinicals and couldn't remember how to do something, I would just pull out this nifty little book and refresh my memory. The best part about the book to me was the area at the bottom of every positioning page to put your own techniques. Being in 6 different clinical facilities, this book helped out a lot.
