Thorough (2010-08-26)
Quite comprehensive for an introductory book. Very well done and directed to rehabilitation specialties. This book really emphasizes the importance of radiographs as the fundamental diagnostic imaging source with some touches on MRI.
Great, easy to read text (2010-05-30)
I bought this text for the APTA Imaging course. I have been happy with both the course and text both by the author of the book. Easy to read and not dull like many texts can be. The book also shipped more quickly than I was expecting.
Textbook (2010-05-29)
Great textbook, very easy to read and to understand when learning how to distinguish the differences among radiographs. Offers good information on pathology and how they would appear on radiographs as well.
Good text overall,but... (2008-02-16)
The textbook has several nice introductory chapters on imaging basic science, reading principles (for x-rays), and the role of physical therapists with imaging practice. the x-rays are of good quality and size and the schematic labels are pretty thorough. The CD is a nice adjunct for active learning, however, it is a bit limited in structures to label and # of views to test yourself on.
As an educator, it would be very nice if the publisher would place the images, tables, figures on a CD for teachers to drop into powerpoint slides or have PDF documents of the chapters. Additionally, future editions may wish to include more views with x-ray imaging on the CD and include more images with pathology on the CD
One major limitation to this textbook is the lack of MR and CT images. The title "....Musculoskeletal Imaging" suggests a global approach. However, this text primarily contains x-ray images. If you're going to adopt as a textbook, you will need to supplement heavily using other textbooks and resources for the MR and CT images. If your class will include thorax and pelvis, you will definetely need another textbook or resource to cover those topics as these are not addressed with this text.
For textbook supplementation, I recommend anyone check out the following resources:
1) Orthopaedic Imaging a Practical Approach by Greenspan (nice mix of imaging types and labeling; excellent desk reference)
2) Clinical Imaging by Dennis Marchiori (excellent resource for extreme details of x-ray labeling, imaging of torso and pelvis, and nice chapters on normal variants in imaging by region)-this text is pretty heavy on x-ray also
3) Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine by David Stoller (the most thorough textbook on MR imaging I've seen to date)
4) Radiology 101 by William Erkonen (nice general overview text; contains neuroimaging and thorax and pelvis)
Musculoskeletal Imaging (2007-03-12)

RIDDLED with MISTAKES (2009-10-05)
While it is a good book, it needs considerable review by its author and editors because it is riddled with mathematical errors and mistakes. There are several areas in the book that contradict other areas in the book.
Not a good experience. (2009-08-29)
It took me three weeks to find out I was not receiving my book, and another three weeks to get my refund.
good resource (2009-05-28)
Bought this as a study guide for my podiatric assistant. It is overkill but had important easy to understand material.
Good flow but many mistakes (2009-01-06)
I just finished a college course in Radiologic Physics using this book. Each chapter's information and formulas build upon the previous chapter, and I found the flow of information easy to follow. The examples problems were helpful (sometimes) to make the author's point. But, thats where the problem lies with this book. The example problems had too many mathmatical mistakes or misprints. In one chapter the author kept switching the variable "L" with "1" within the same problem. Most other problems were either missing steps or the math was just wrong. I would spend twenty minutes on an example trying to figure out how they got an answer and finally would either just move on or come up with my own answer and verify it with the instructor the next class. For a book in its 9th Ed., someone should have caught these mistakes long ago. Each chapter had at least two, to as many as six mistakes. While there is good information in this book and great diagrams and charts as to how X-rays are produced, the example problems make this book average instead of good. (Definitely buy the workbook if you purchase this book).

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.

Previewing before classes start.... (2010-08-01)
I bought this book and its companion lab book in preperation for fall classes. I have used the summer to try and get a jump start but there are no result answers for any of the problems given. I have no idea if I'm doing anything right. Other than that, I suppose the material is ok. Once I actually get into class I will be able to better judge its content.
will order from edward mckay again (2010-02-10)
I wanted to let everyone know that I ordered this book on-line from an Edward McKay warehouse. the book came very fast and was in the condition stated. I was very pleased with my purchase and the product.
School book (2009-02-20)
This book is something I purchased for school. It is very informative on radiologic subject matter and is exactly what I need.
Required Textbook for School (2008-12-31)
The textbook explained technical concepts in a manner that makes it "easier" to understand. I am currently a Diagnostic Medical Imaging student. I use this book multiple times as an additional reference and review for my other core classes.
This book is very detailed!!! (2007-11-13)
If you're looking for a very informative yet fun to read book then, you should have to consider to buy this one. Most specially if you're a radiologic technology student. This book provides the information you just need in a radiography curriculum, to increase your deeper understanding of radiographic imaging (the best when preparing for licensure exams). Also consider to buy its Workbook to test yourself and to see how much you really understood the content you have just learned in the accompanying textbook.

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.

Perfect Condition (2009-10-05)
The Sectional Anatomy for imaging professionals, is a good text book for the knowledge of all sectional imaging of all the body. Specialty in the area of brain and nervous sistem. When I received the book, the book was in a perfect condition.
Great Service (2009-04-13)
Product was in excellent condition just like the seller said and I received the item in a timely fashion.
Crossectional anatomy for NONimaging professionals (2008-09-11)
Using this for a cross sectional anatomy class that is required for my Medical Physics program. It seems to be a decent book so far, only covering what I need. I'm not sure how the "imaging professionals" would view it, but I think it is very helpful.
Awesome for CT beginners and pros (2007-04-10)
Has tons of true to life CT images, great descriptions, easy to follow. Also recommend obtaining the workbook that goes along with it. Together they help the understanding process faster and clearer. Don't even need to attend a class with these books!
Caused more frustration than anything (2006-10-28)
This was the required text for my Sectional Anatomy course, as part of my radiography curriculum. I found the layout of the book disorganized and frustrating. I felt it would have been helpful and appropriate for the text to address the sequencing of CT/MRI images instead of showing a random shot here or there...I suppose that's difficult to do without a multimedia/interactive presentation, but I still had alot of trouble learning via this text. I found the abbreviated captions virtually useless and ill-concieved. It's one thing if you're tyring to quiz yourself and want a hint, but if you're trying to learn from scratch, it would have made much more sense seeing the long-hand terms written out in the columns so we know what we're looking at. Having to glance down at the caption and search for the abbreviation in question proved very distracting to the learning process. And the written text was...well, not enough text. Instead of offering helpful ways to differentiate and remember the many different body parts and structures, the text follows a very robotic "the A bone connects to the B bone which leads to the C artery and supplies the D organ...". I felt overwhelmed with similar-sounding descriptions and didn't take much away from the learning experience that wasn't lost in days. If I already had an understanding of cross-sectional anatomy before using this text, it may have served as a succinct review, but given the fact it is assigned to first-time X-sectional learners I felt it was too abstract and devoid of personality. If I decide to go into CT or MRI in the future, I plan on selling this book and doing a little research on finding the best and most current text available at the time. I can tell this one won't age well.

Great Buy! (2010-02-14)
The books were received in the exact condition advertised and for an incredibly cheap price! I will definitely shop here more often.
This is "The Bible" (2010-01-10)
Title says it all. The three volumes weigh about 3 tons (feels that way lugging it to class). Clinics will have all versions, I've seen 8 through 10 and this is 11. You'll probably not actually use more than about 200 positions, but when some doc asks for a particular view, you can dig it up here.
quality was good!! (2009-05-29)
I was really happy with all the books that were sent to me. They arrived in great condition for the price that they were!!!!!
Amazon has gone downhill!!! (2008-08-27)
This book is the bible for radiologic techs and needed in many programs however Amazon was incapable of delivering this book. I waited 12 days for this textbook for my classes and finally contacted customer service to ask them to expedite the shipping because I NEEDED it and they told me they did not even have it in stock. After hearing this I looked on the website to see if they still had it listed and they did saying falsely that it could be sent out in two days. I obviously knew that this was not my case because my order was made 10 days ago and could not be sent out nor could they tell me when!!! I used to rely on amazon for all my book needs but they are no longer the high caliber that I once regarded them as.
Understandable (2008-03-07)
I am currently using this book in one of my classes and it is packed full of information. For those of you who have a hard time comprehending what medical books are trying to say, this book is packed full of pictures upon how to position the patient and what the radiograph will look like if you properly positioned. The radiographs also have arrows pointing at different parts of the anatomy. I highly encourage this book to anyone who is trying to learn to be a radiologist or radiographic technician.

Overall good service, but pages missing in book (2009-02-08)
I got the book way before I expected, and from the outside everything looked new. As i started using the book, I realized that it had pages missing from the end of the chapter. I was disappointed in that but luckily my professor prints out these pages for the class since they are review questions.
as a student (2007-09-17)
while the book is fairly easy to read and organized, there are many errors. There are several places where Maxillary and Mandibular words are interchanged or incorrectly identified such as in the bisecting angles chapter. The tests at the end of several chapters have obvious errors that even teachers could not explain. The answer key the instructors had also gave incorrect answers sometimes. There is no answer key in the book for students to access which makes self-testing/studying less effective.
Plus the pages fall out easily after little use.
These types of mistakes make me doubt information in the book that may actually be accurate.
This is not a completely useless book, but by college standards, i find these type of errors unacceptable.

Best Text Book For Radiographic Positioning Classes One and Two! (2009-06-23)
I graduated back in 2004 from Baker College of Owosso's Radiology Technology Program and we used this textbook. This textbook is great for an easy understanding of anatomy and radiographic exams. The one-page exam layouts are very efficient, and again easy to comprehend. It will come very handy too, later on, when you've graduated and end up pulling it out for those rare exams you do, maybe one or two times a year, (Cough), Mastoids! (Laugh). So please, do not throw it in the trash or give it back to your bookstore!
When I was in my clinical setting, I worked along side with other students from a different program. They were very jealous of my one large textbook, compared to their 3 large textbooks! Apparently their text was divided amongst three volumes, crazy!
Anyhow, I would definitely recommend this text for any student and for any program that is presently not using it. The workbook is a great addition with reinforcing the material, so I would definitely recommend getting both.
Good luck to all you future Radiographers out there.

It's the 'BIBLE' for Radiology Technology students! (2009-05-21)
Hello, it's the ideal book for RT students! If your program doesn't use this book...change schools. And if they don't advise the study guides that go with it...get them anyway!
PROs: covers almost all the topics you need for positioning courses
CONs: heavy, heavy, heavy (weighs a lot)
Hey, if you can get it used without much highlighting in it...go for it.
Best of luck! I graduated in 2003 from RT school!

There are some discrepancies in positioning and/or CR placement on a few projections that can be irritating when using the pocket guide to study up for exams and whatnot but other than that I get a fair amount of use from it. Its quite handy just as a general study guide for when things are slow and I want a whole-body refresher just to make sure I am not forgetting anything.
I would love it more if they had a student edition that had the evaluation criteria with every projection instead of blank technique charts but its not that big of a deal.
You do have to be somewhat careful with the inner pages but the outer cover has taken quite a beating and is still in good shape after my first year of clinical rotation.
good basic reference for beginners (2010-04-13)
thought I'd brush up on basic positioning since i have been out of the field for a while. It turns out i haven't forgotten much. This would be a good help for students.
really good (2010-02-25)
I'm so glad I bought this...it has been so helpful in at my onsite clinicals. It's an easy reference when i'm in a hurry or when I don't know the position. It's a great learning tool,I call it my little bible. Wouldn't be without it!

For at least a few years (and while you're a student), carry this sucker in your scrubs. Make notes, draw, use it like it's supposed to be used. Mine is missing tabs, has smudges all over it, but it's still important.

This Pocket Guide comes in pretty handy for a student at their clinical site. It gives you quick insight into standard positioning and a great go-to source for behind the scences. I only had mine for 2 days when it saved me at my first clinical site. It's been my go-to ever since then. I trust it completely.Merrill's Pocket Guide to Radiography
