Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy (Flexibooks) 3rd edition
Third edition of the classic pocket guide to basic radiographic anatomy
In this easily accessible pocket atlas, two expert radiologists present the normal radiographic anatomy readers need in order to interpret conventional diagnostic radiographs. Each practical, two-page unit displays a standard radiograph of a different projection on the left-hand side supplemented by a detailed, clearly labeled schematic drawing on the opposing page. The consistent, user-friendly format facilitates easy identification and rapid review of key anatomic information.
Features:
- 177 radiographic studies provide multiple views of every basic anatomic structure
- High-resolution radiographs appear beside explanatory drawings to aid comprehension
- Seven examinations new to this edition cover a trans-scapular "Y" view of the shoulder; 45° external and internal rotation views of the knee; and more
An ideal reference for anyone involved in the interpretation of commonly performed radiographic studies, the third edition of Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy is an especially valuable tool not only for medical students and radiology residents, but also for radiological technologists.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2013this is a good purchase. Recommended for those currently going through clinical rotation through a radiology program. It helped me all the way until my second year of employment. this will not fail you! small price to pay for outstanding work performance!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017Decent guide, really like that it shows "normal" exams, allowing for comparison with my patient's films. On occasion I wish for a few more views, as what the guide has and what the tech provides are different, but overall it is a great help when I need clarification and can't get a hold of the radiologist.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2020Love it. Great reference

5.0 out of 5 stars ... labelled diagrams of the same anatomy this is an excellent place to start
if you're looking for a book which gives you radiographic images alongside labelled diagrams of the same anatomy this is an excellent place to start. as each image faces its corresponding diagram you don't have to keep flicking backwards and forwards
- Curious ObserverReviewed in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2010
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful Book
It's a very helpful book for recognising the anatomy on x-rays and learning anatomy in general. My only niggle with the books is that anatomical markers aren't featured in the book (may be a few exceptions) which makes, at times, identifying things slightly more difficult than what it should be, especially when beginning.
