This manual on radiographic technique and projections, is a successor to the Manual of Radiographic Technique that was published in 1986 with Drs T Holm, P Palmer and E Lehtinen as authors, and was meant as a manual for the WHO Basic Radiological System—WHO-BRS. The present manual can be used with any equipment, but is especially designed for the use with X-ray machines that comply with the specifications for the World Health Organization Imaging System for Radiology, WHIS-RAD.
