Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I want to say that this is a great website! I have a question about the various pocket guides out there.

Our school uses the Merrill's pocket guide for clinicals, but I have noticed that Thomson Delmar publishes a pocket guide by Adler and Carlton that sells for around $60. This book contains the evaluation criteria listed in it for each exam as well as all the stuff that Merrill's has.

Do you think that it is worth having for a student? How does this book compare to the Bontrager's pocket guide?

Thank you.

ASG

All the pocket guides have their pros and cons. I haven't seen the Adler one but I own Bontrager and have seen Merril's. Bontrager, I think, is more pocket sized but Merril's has images of what the x-ray *should* look like. Also, Bontrager doesn't have the evaluation criteria.

The new Bontrager's is really nice! This one....
http://www.amazon.com/Bontragers-Handbook-Radiographic-Positioning-Techniques/dp/032305630X/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

Has example images, criteria, etc.. 1000x better than their last edition.. One of my fellow students has one and as soon as I can swing the extra 30 bucks im getting one.
