I'm so glad I bought this...it has been so helpful in at my onsite clinicals. It's an easy reference when i'm in a hurry or when I don't know the position. It's a great learning tool,I call it my little bible. Wouldn't be without it!

For at least a few years (and while you're a student), carry this sucker in your scrubs. Make notes, draw, use it like it's supposed to be used. Mine is missing tabs, has smudges all over it, but it's still important.

This Pocket Guide comes in pretty handy for a student at their clinical site. It gives you quick insight into standard positioning and a great go-to source for behind the scences. I only had mine for 2 days when it saved me at my first clinical site. It's been my go-to ever since then. I trust it completely.Merrill's Pocket Guide to Radiography

I like the size of this book, but it lacks alot of information, like cassette size, CW or LW and some of the views for certain exams. It has most of the basics, but I was expecting more.

This pocket guide has been very useful to me especially during clinic when you can't really carry around your textbook. You can just take a quick peek in the guide to find different positions and there are also charts for you to write what techniques that work for you. Definately a good buy!
