Developed using the ARRT Content Specifications to include nearly all ARRT entry-level radiographic positions.
- “OPTIONAL” positions are included which may be ordered in clinical practice. These OPTIONAL positions are judged by the authors and other educational colleagues as handy references, but are not listed on the ARRT Radiography Content.

Instructions referenced to the most recent ASRT Radiography Curriculum and national positioning texts.

Written and edited by 2 Ph.D. radiography educators, each with more than 30 years of teaching experience.

A convenient guide to positioning the patient and a valuable study aid for radiography students.

A great reference and review tool for technologists and clinical instructors.
