WALK INTO CLINICALS READY TO POSITION WITH CONFIDENCE.
Patient positioning, central ray, collimation and image critique. The clinical details that can turn a routine projection into a moment of panic when all you have are dense notes to rely on.
Built for radiography students who want to know what to do, what to look for, and what a clean image should show before they start second guessing themselves.
Radiographic Positioning Atlas
Radiographic Positioning Atlas
Digital & Printable Version
2026 Edition. You can recite the terminology, but clinicals do not ask you to repeat definitions. They ask you to position the patient, centre the beam, collimate with purpose, and recognise whether the image is acceptable. That is where even strong students begin to second guess themselves.
This atlas turns positioning, central ray, collimation and image critique into clear, color coded visual blueprints, so you walk into clinicals ready to apply, not just recall.
🩻 Positioning, central ray and collimation made clear at a glance
👁️ Image critique cues that show you what a clean projection should demonstrate
📚 76 visual A4 pages built for faster, more focused revision

WHAT’S INCLUDED
Built for radiography students who understand the terminology in class but freeze when it is time to position a patient, place the central ray, or judge whether an image is acceptable.
Every dense positioning concept rebuilt into visual frameworks your brain can use under pressure. No filler. Just the high yield details you need for clinicals, competencies, and exams.

KNOWING THE THEORY ISN'T THE SAME AS POSITIONING THE PATIENT.
Patient positioning, central ray, collimation and image critique. You do not struggle with these because they are impossible. You struggle because the theory comes as dense paragraphs, then you are expected to turn it into a confident projection in clinicals.
This Atlas does that step for you. Dense positioning concepts rebuilt into color coded visual frameworks that show you where to position, where to center, and what the image should demonstrate.
Same knowledge. Built for clinicals. Ready when it counts.
Knowing the projections is not enough. Clinicals ask you to position, center, collimate, and critique.
This Atlas rebuilds the hardest positioning details into the visual format that finally sticks. You stop rereading. You start seeing the image.
Built for radiography students who know that memorising the theory is not enough when a real patient is in front of you.
