This pocketbook is a practical guide to the wide variety of radiographic projections that are commonly encountered in a clinical environment. It provides clear and concise advice on how to approach radiographic positioning and technique, both efficiently and effectively. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of achieving the best possible image with the minimum exposure. The routine examinations are dealt with by region in a systematic way and have the same easy-to-use format throughout. For each projection, there is a patient position photograph and an accompanying radiograph to ensure that the required result of the examination has been achieved. The accompanying CD-ROM enlarges and adapts the images to demonstrate the anatomy and areas of interest.

Il libro, redatto da Anne L. Wales, è una raccolta di lezioni tenute da William Garner Sutherland nei corsi di insegnamento a Providence, Rhode Island. Le lezioni si svolsero nel maggio del 1949 e nel maggio del 1950, comprendendo due corsi introduttivi di due settimane ed un corso di studi aggiuntivo sull'occipite, della durata di una settimana. L'interpretazione di cosa il corpo, tramite la palpazione e attraverso il controllo del peso corporeo dell'osteopata, stia comunicando, e di come l'operatore possa aiutarlo - per mezzo delle leggi che governano la fisiologia corporea e la gestione del liquor con la sua Intelligenza - a risolvere da solo le alterazioni fisiologiche che noi denominiamo strain, è uno degli iniziali punti cardine sottolineati dal Dott. William Garner Sutherland insieme alla forma mentis distintiva, che deve caratterizzare l'osteopata, associata ad un apprendimento trasmesso di mano in mano, rende questa metodo di approccio, un'arte. Il progetto è stato sviluppato con un pensiero di base ricorrente rivolto ad effettuare una traduzione il più possibile letterale, per cercare di lasciare la mente del lettore libera di spaziare e quindi senza condizionamenti interpretativi.
