This easy-to-understand guide in the highly respected Clark’s stable of diagnostic imaging texts is an invaluable tool for student and qualified radiographers, providing practical advice and instruction on how to formulate a comment following image evaluation of musculoskeletal X-rays. Covering both trauma and pathology of the musculoskeletal system, the reader can find essential information quickly, with content including key points and take-home messages throughout. Clark’s Essential Guide to Preliminary Clinical Evaluation of Musculoskeletal X-rays takes the systematic approach adopted within books in the Clark’s family and is designed to be clear and consistent. Accessible text and high-quality illustration ensure that this book will both educate those practitioners learning to evaluate images and support those doing it routinely in clinical practice. Additionally, the book provides invaluable guidance to those departments that have not yet progressed to commenting but are looking to introduce this by outlining a development plan for staff and suggesting content for any formal documentation that is required.

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 new book in the respected Clark's family of radiography resources provides guidance in achieving holistic care within medical imaging and therapy, outlining the understanding required to enable best practice in service delivery. Reflecting the multi-disciplinary nature of the subject, it is built on an understanding that the experience of every patient is unique and will be influenced both by the clinical support and delivery that they receive directly from the imaging team as well as their wider journey through the care pathway. Grounded in the principles of narrative medicine, which cultivates attention, empathy and reflective judgement, the content is developed through a series of fictional stories describing engagements with patients that draw on real-life experiences across a range of modalities. These stories have been carefully selected to include positive encounters and examples of what can go wrong, and what can be learned in both cases. By explaining the fundamental concepts that drive thinking and interactions with patients set against a background of how the practitioner’s demeanour and mood changes with time and is communicated with the patient, the book guides readers to consider personal actions and adopt a holistic approach to patient care which is a win-win for everyone.

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.

The Latte - pocket memo notebook is a blank lined journal or notebook that you can fit nicely in your backpack or purse to jot things down on the go or to use for keeping records of any kind. When I designed it I was thinking about people who like to keep tarot journals. The cover art was downloaded and is inspired by traditional tarot but instead reads "the latte." Perfect for coffee and tarot lovers. Again, this is a lined notebook/journal with dimensions of 6x9 so it's convenient to carry along with you.
