Il ruolo che la diagnostica per immagini riveste nella pratica clinica quotidiana e di giorno in giorno sempre piu rilevante: il moderno radiologo deve possedere un'approfondita conoscenza della clinica e dell'anatomia patologica e la capacita di correlazione con i reperti radiologici, al fine di poter cogliere anche i minimi segni e reperti rilevabili.

Inoltre, la vastita delle attuali conoscenze richiede non solo una preparazione radiologica generica, ma anche e sempre piu approfondimenti sub-specialistici: cio conduce alla formazione di radiologi d'apparato e in alcuni casi...
