Opis

This text helps readers understand the principles of interpretation of all forms of imaging. It is an introductory textbook that provides a balanced account of all the imaging modalities available to the practicing clinician, explaining the techniques used and the indications for their use.

Recenzje

Overall, this is a useful introduction to radiology for medical students and interns. It is helpful to have one reference for a number of modalities for various types of organ imaging and for many different medical conditions, although it does underemphasize the value of radionuclide techniques.   (Doody s, 16 August 2013)

Diagnostic Imaging will help medical students, junior doctors, residents and trainee radiologists understand the principles behind interpreting all forms of imaging. Providing a balanced account of all the imaging modalities available including plain film, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide imaging and interventional radiology it explains the techniques used and the indications for their use.

Organised by body system, it covers all anatomical regions. In each region the authors discuss the most suitable imaging technique and provide guidelines for interpretation, illustrating clinical problems with normal and abnormal images.

Diagnostic Imaging is extensively illustrated throughout, featuring high quality full–colour images and more than 600 photographs. The images are downloadable in PowerPoint format from the brand new companion website at www.wileydiagnosticimaging.com, which also has over 100 interactive MCQs, to aid learning and teaching.
