The new second edition of this comprehensive textbook has been completely revised and updated. With the inclusion of musculoskeletal trauma, paediatric, obstetric and gynaecological radiology, all body systems are covered. Not only has the text been expanded, but also there are more than 300 illustrations in this edition, including a four-page full-colour centrepiece.

In many clinical situations today, choosing the appropriate diagnostic test from the many alternatives now available can pose problems. This book addresses these questions and is clinically oriented to medical students, general practitioners and other health professionals. The role of radiology is defined, the various imaging modalities described, and for a wide range of clinical problems a diagnostic protocol is recommended. Radiological abnormalities are illustrated and differential diagnosis discussed. The newer applications of computed tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance and interventional radiology are also covered.

Review:

"All in all I would say that this is the definitive book for medical imaging for medical students. This will sort you out for all your radiological needs. I am also sure that it would be useful for radiographers as a basic introduction. With the amount of imaging we rely on nowadays, I say that this is a book worth buying.

Leech y Gelen, University of Wales College of Medicine"

"This is an excellent example which covers all possible radiological scenarios. There are over 300 illustrations which makes it a perfect accompaniment to your usual medical and surgical textbooks.

Sphincter, Liverpool Medical Students' Society Magazine

"...this book is certainly recommended to health practitioners who wish to improve their logical use of radiological investigations, and especially to students who can learn about the possiblities and limitations of radiology and the role of the radiologist in the investigation of a diagnostic problem." European Radiology/2000
