**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Radiologic Technology**

Give your students the knowledge and skills needed to analyze radiographic images and solve imaging challenges! Reflecting the latest ARRT® content specifications, Radiographic Image Analysis, 6th Edition provides a guide to evaluating and adjusting images to produce diagnostic-quality radiographs. It helps students learn to identify the error in positioning or technique that may have caused a poor image, then shows how to correct the problem, so they can reduce the need for repeat radiographs. Each projection includes an optimal radiograph along with examples of unacceptable images. Not only does this text build critical thinking skills, but it helps students prepare for success on the ARRT certification examination.
