https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/25687/radiography-positions Has anyone got a good list (or know where I can find a good list) of collimations for x-ray positions. In particular I am struggling to find what the collimation points would be for a cranio-caudal view of the shoulder.

Thank you for your help though,and thank you for checking the other books. I will certainly have a look at the link for the radiography book you recommended anyway for my own development. Thank you very much for your help&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/152770?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Jun 2014 22:38:50 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:7435de45-f97f-47fe-90ca-2e8c940552c8Nick Shackleton <p>I have several books and none of them describe the craniocaudal view of the shoulder. It&#39;s not really an appropriate view for the joint. As I&#39;ve already stated above.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/152769?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Jun 2014 22:14:40 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:06179375-5941-44e6-a7ca-3e17acbcccc4Cloudy Weather<p>I Nick thank you. Yes this is why I am unsure as we dont tend to do it in practice but it in theNPL it specifies it must be that position which I thought was quite odd.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/152766?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Jun 2014 20:49:55 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:a49da18b-57b9-42c7-a0cd-962d665d0e24Nick Shackleton <p>http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lavins-Radiography-Veterinary-Technicians-5e/dp/1455722804/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1402343057&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=Radiography+in+veterinary+technology I have the edition before has great pictures</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/152765?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Jun 2014 20:36:36 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:8e72c490-9051-49fb-a571-2491d66a4bbaNick Shackleton <p>The reason you can&#39;t find positioning for craniocaudal is because it&#39;s very rarely performed. Think back to basics of radiography the area you are interested in should be as close to Image Receptor as possible and this is why the caudocranial view is normally performed. This reduces magnification and image distortion.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/152734?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 09 Jun 2014 08:39:06 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:a9521225-af86-46d4-a516-ccd0a12deeebCharley83<p>The best for me was orpet &amp; welsh handbook of veterinary nursing - Set out in note form with diagrams.
