From the Author:

This maual was written for medical students, technicians, interns and residents in Radiology as well as for physicians who are at the beginnning of their clinical training and wish to become acquainted with the subject of computed tomography. The emphasis is on the normal anatomic orientation. Numerous diagrams are shown and annotated with numbers that are listed and explained on the cover flaps. Additionally, the most common and important pathologic changes and normal variants have been selected as study examples. Pathogenesis, clincial findings and therapy are intentionally excluded: for further learning, the reader should consult the vast number of textbooks available on radiology, internal medicine, surgery, pathology, etc.

Finally, self-assessment quizzes - including answers - at the end of each chapter help the reader monitor progress and evaluate knowledge gained.
