 7.	structures demonstrated
•	Representative radiographic image which can be enlarged for closer inspection.
•	Enlargeable photograph of properly positioned human model showing the correctly collimated area of interest with the central ray entry point.
•	A helpful NOTE tab for every position; save techniques, special terms, or other helpful information.
•	Search function finds search term in position titles and/or instructions.
•	My Routines function allows grouping of selected positions into a saved routine.

•	Developed using the ARRT Content Specifications to include nearly all ARRT entry-level radiographic positions.
1.	 “OPTIONAL” positions are included which may be ordered in clinical practice.  These OPTIONAL positions are judged by the authors and other educational colleagues as handy references, but are not listed on the ARRT Radiography Content.  
•	Instructions referenced to the most recent ASRT Radiography Curriculum and national positioning texts.
•	Content is written, edited and expanded by two Ph.D. radiography educators, each with extensive authoring experience and more than 30 years of teaching experience.
•	A convenient guide to positioning the patient and a valuable study aid for radiography students.
•	A great reference and review tool for technologists and clinical instructors.

### 1/5 — Where's the full version ?

*2014-08-16*

Someone please tell me where to get the full version of this app. My friend has it on his phone and I like it but the full version is no where to be found. I will re rate when I can use the actual app

**Developer response:** This is an old review.  The full version (iRadTech) is in the store for $24.99.

### 1/5 — Help

*2014-08-06*

I want to buy the full version but it's not even finding it anymore on the App Store

### 5/5 — Great App, well worth buying full version.

*2012-04-21*

I originally chose the free version, which is basically a trial version without many positions. I purchased the full version, since it is cheaper and much more convenient than a "pocket" positioning guide book and lots better than the "little black book" (older RAD techs & students know what I'm talking about). One complaint I had, and several reviews also stated, were the lack of techniques. There is so much variation between film, CR, DR, different brands, rooms, and preferences, that I can understand the app not supplying these, but I wanted to be able to add some as notes myself. Then, after complaining for a while about this myself, I realized the app already has this! For all of you also complaining, just look under each of the individual positions. There is a blue "Note" tab on the upper right of the page. You can type in whatever you want. I go to several physical locations and deal with lots of different equipment, so under "Note" I add the location or room and an average technique for that exam. You can add whatever notes you want, it is free form. I don't need to look at it often, but it is a great reference to have on hand especially if you are a new tech or deal with lots of different equipment and it is great peace-of-mind to always have with you on your phone if you ever do have a question. Well worth the price!

### 1/5 — Terrible App.

*2012-02-27*

This app is terrible! How do you put out a lite version with such few positions. No techniques and Poor design. Why would I spend $30.00 on the full version when there are similar if not better radiography positioning apps for $10-12 dollars cheaper. I would give zero stars if I was given the option.

**Developer response:** This app has only 6 positions because it is a demo.  The full app with over 200 positions including suggested techniques (iRadTech) is in the store for $24.99.

### 2/5 — waitingtobuy

*2011-07-23*

When are we going to be able to add user defined techniques ? When is the update comming out ? It seems like the dev is not supporting this app anymore... waiting for a while now to purchase this but dev seems to be out to lunch on user requests and update...

### 5/5 — Review of iRADTECH

*2011-05-08, version 2.1*

Very accurate and if your  looking to go into the medical feild then this is a very good revision tool.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2011-03-30*

Even with variations from site to site, there are many inaccuracies, even the PA chest had the wrong marker orientation, the supine abdomen has been confused with the upright abdomen. The SID described  don't follow the modern ALARA principle, current international radiographic community has adopted either 115cm or 122cm for body parts not requiring 183cm. Needs updating.

### 3/5 — Very cool.

*2010-11-26*

Plzzzz add avg. body habitus techniques(with and without grid)!! That's all that's holding this app back and keeping me from even thinking about buying full version. So techniques, techniques, techniques and I'll give 5 stars and buy full version.

### 3/5 — Suggesting

*2010-06-16*

Sorry Phil,no such thing as AP position.AP,PA are projections, not positions ...ie see lower extremity, lower leg...AP position? ...ARRT conventions...extremity is now Limb..How can we teach our students to use the proper terminolgy when the primary texts do not?prime example..to perform an AP projection of the forearm place the hand in supination,not AP position.'Film' is now IR, unless you are referring to a physical sheet of film in the box or processor.thanks

### 3/5 — Looks good but too pricey!

*2010-03-18, version 0*

I've tried out the lite version and it's not bad, but £14.99 for the full version, come on guys, I'm a newly qualified radiographer - I don't earn that much! Half the price and I can start promoting this to my colleagues. All that aside, the app looks pretty good.
