Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy

Displays the normal radiographic anatomy necessary for the interpretation of conventional radiographs...uses conventional anatomic nomenclature as well as customary radiologic terminology throughout the book.

Despite the introduction of digital radiography, the process of obtaining and evaluating radiographic images has not changed significantly in recent years, nor has the importance of good knowlegde of the anatomic details of conventional radiographs. This book is a case in point. We were very pleased with the wide distribution of the first edition, which has been an additional incentive to improve a number of details, include even better images, replace some of the drawings, and include a few new radiographs. The structure of the second edition also srickly follows that of Normal Findings in Radiology and Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Positioning. Our intention in this is to present clearly and concisely each repective chapter of conventional diagnostic radiography and to avoid unnecessary repetition. At the same time, we give the reader the opportunity to examine different aspects of the same material with the same degree of clarity, which may prove important on another occasion. We have employed a consistent style and the same radiographys to structure the material and make it more readily accessible for reading, learning, or reference purposes.
