Imaging for Students

Imaging for Students provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of diagnostic and interventional imaging, written specifically for medical students and junior doctors. Starting with a clear explanation of how each imaging modality actually works, the reader is then guided step-by-step through the range of imaging modalities available, with important information included on the hazards and risks associated with medical imaging.

The work includes a detailed guide to the interpretation of plain films of the chest, abdomen and skeleton, before providing a system-based tutorial covering the most common conditions that require imaging for diagnostic confirmation. Using evidence-based studies and guidelines, Imaging for Students takes a logical approach to the investigation of clinical scenarios, where possible indicating the 'best first test.'

Imaging for Students also gives an overview of medical imaging procedures, emphasizing the importance of patient preparation and post-procedure observation. With its comprehensive and thoughtful coverage, Imaging for Students presents students with everything they need to know for a clear understanding of the advantages, disadvantages, and possible side effects of the imaging modalities available.
