X-RAY POSITIONING & ANATOMY
Master X-ray positioning, radiographic positioning and X-ray anatomy with a reference app for radiographers, radiologic technologists, rad techs, radiology students and medical imaging professionals.
Explore 231 detailed X-ray positioning examinations covering routine radiographic projections, specialist X-ray views, trauma radiography and additional positioning techniques from head to toe.
Each guide explains patient and body-part positioning, detector placement, X-ray tube position, central-ray direction, tube angulation, centring, collimation, SID/FFD, exposure guidance, kV and mAs, breathing instructions, image evaluation and common errors.

DETAILED POSITIONING INFORMATION
Examinations may include:
• Clinical indications
• Patient preparation
• Patient and body-part positioning
• Image receptor / detector position and size
• SID / FFD
• X-ray tube position and central ray
• Tube angulation and centring
• Collimation

REAL HUMAN-BASED POSITIONING IMAGES
Learn radiography positioning using clear human-based images. Many examinations include multiple viewing angles showing body rotation, limb placement, detector position, tube alignment and central-ray direction—especially useful for specialist radiographic projections and uncommon X-ray views.
X-RAY ANATOMY & RADIOGRAPHIC ANATOMY
Study labelled radiographs of the skull, facial bones, spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis, shoulder, upper limb, hand, wrist, elbow, lower limb, knee, ankle and foot. Learn bones, joints, joint spaces and important radiographic landmarks directly on X-ray images.
Combining X-ray positioning with radiology anatomy helps users understand both how to perform an examination and which anatomical structures should appear on a correctly positioned radiograph.
