These companion volumes to the Bontrager Textbook of Radiographic Positioning and Related Anatomy feature situation-based questions on positioning and anatomy with illustrations. Also included are film critique questions, laboratory activities and self-evaluation tests. Chapter competencies are formatted as a set of tasks that the student should be able to perform after working through the chapter. The Bontrager workbooks are a vital part of the total teaching and learning package to support this textbook.
- A wide variety of exercises complement the textbook, including questions on anatomy, positioning critique, and evaluation.
- Situational questions, consisting of clinical scenarios with related questions, require students to think through and apply positioning information to specific clinical examples.
- Film critique questions, related to improperly positioned radiographs printed in the book, prepare students to evaluate the quality of radiographs taken in the clinical setting.
- Self-tests at the ends of chapters each consist of about 35 multiple-choice, labeling, short answer, and true-or-false questions.
- Laboratory exercises provide opportunities for hands-on experience, requiring students to perform radiographs using phantoms, evaluate the images, and practice positioning with fellow students.
- More critique and pathology questions have been added to encourage more critical thinking.
- Digital imaging chapter corresponds with the new chapter in the text.
- Additional digital imaging questions have been incorporated into positioning chapters as appropriate.
