The increase in numbers of x-ray technical personnel in recent years has been such that practically a whole new generation'of radiographers requires training. Because equipment has become increasingly automatic, the necessity for acquiring physical information has diminished. As a result, greater emphasis can be placed during training on the other funda-mentals of radiography, especially radiographic anatomy andprojections. Because'good comprehensive sources of information about radiographic anatomy have beennone too plentiful, the publication of Dr. Meschan's excellent book is especially welcome. In it, with the assistance of his brother, RMF Farrer-Meschan, of Melbourne, he has assembled a compendium of radiographic anatomy that includes the following: basic anatomic information as it applies to radiography; the manner in which routine projections employed in radiography are obtained; a conceptof the radiograph so obtained; the anatomic parts best visualized by these projections; anatomic changes with growth and development; and some of the more common nor-mal anatomic variations.The book is divided into 16 chapters, the first of which deals with the fuhdamentals of radiography, including concise explanations of the physics and geometry involved in the creation of an x-ray image. The second chapter contains a thorough discussion of the development of the skeletal system. The remaining 14 chapters are devoted to the radiographic anatomy of the body as follows: upper extremity; pelvis and lower extremity; skull; detailed consideration of vari-ous regions of the skull; brain; vertebral column and subarachnoid space; respiratory system; mediastinum; heart and major blood vessels; upper digestive tract; intestine beyond the duodenum; abdomen and peritoneal space; urinary tract; and genital tract. Each chapter contains introductory materialon the basic anatomy of the area under discussion and a brief discussion of the radiographic examination. In general two pages are devoted to each of the radiographic projections discussed. Each ofthese sections features a drawing showing the positioning of the patient and a reproduction and a labeled tracing of the radiograph. Practical hints on technique are also included.
