Clark's Positioning in Radiography

First published in 1939, Clark's Positioning in Radiography is the pre-eminent text on radiographic positioning technique. Whilst retaining the clear and easy-to-follow structure of the previous edition, the fourteenth edition has been updated to focus on positioning and to align with current radiographic standards and the changing roles of radiographers in modern clinical practice.Each chapter has been revised to include comprehensive technique descriptors, tips on technique correction and basic image evaluation guidance, supported by high-quality, full-colour positioning photographs, digital images and illustrations. These enhancements are designed to assist radiographers in identifying how suboptimal technique can affect diagnostic outcomes. A new chapter outlines the clinical details and radiographic features of critical and significant pathologies that need to be escalated. Community radiography is included, highlighting how emerging technologies are facilitating the delivery of accessible diagnostic imaging services closer to patients' homes. Additionally, artificial intelligence and dark field radiography are introduced.By integrating evidence-based guidelines and drawing on real-world experience, the book provides clear, practical guidance that empowers radiographers to achieve optimal imaging outcomes while prioritising patient safety and comfort. This edition represents not only an update of established techniques and terminology, but also a reaffirmation of the fundamental values that underpin the profession - compassion, precision and a steadfast commitment to continuous improvement in patient care. The changes made ensure that Clark's Positioning in Radiography continues to be the definitive work on radiographic technique for all students on radiography courses and their educators, radiographers in practice and trainee radiologists.
