First published in 1939, Clark’s Positioning in Radiography is the preeminent 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 positioningand 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 which 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 prioritizing 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.

This easy-to-understand pocketbook in the highly respected Clark’s stable of diagnostic imaging texts is an invaluable tool for student and practising radiographers, providing practical guidance to undertaking a wide range of mobile and theatre imaging examinations in multiple locations - different theatre environments, the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Units, including Neonatal Intensive Care Units, and on general wards.Carrying out examinations outside the imaging suite can be particularly challenging, given the circumstances in which they are often requested, the condition of the patient and the complexity of the environment. Additionally, management of the team and area from a radiation protection point of view is the responsibility of the radiographer and requires excellent communication skills.Clark’s Essential Guide to Mobile and Theatre Imaging takes the systematic approach adopted within books in the Clark's family and is designed to be clear and consistent, in which each imaging location is explored, the challenges of each identified and possible solutions presented. A wide range of theatre procedures is included, as well as the imaging requirements of each, and common theatre practices, such as time out, are considered.
