Synopsis:

Problem oriented in approach, the focus of this text is toward selecting the appropriate imaging modality for each organ system. This comprehensive introduction to diagnostic imaging covers current imaging techniques and basic physical principles or radiology. Chapters are divided into organ-oriented sections with diagnostic imaging exercises to introduce organ-related pathology, and further subdivided into chapters covering one or more specific organs.

From the Back Cover: The perfect primer for anyone looking to sharpen their imaging skills!

Helps medical students, residents, and non-specialist clinicians to build confidence, skills and knowledge -- also an ideal “memory refresher” for radiologists!
