About this title

Book Description:

There is now a vast array of imaging modalities available for diagnostic use. Junior doctors are now faced with a range of complex and sophisticated imaging techniques - radioisotopes, ultrasound, CT and MRI are all used to demonstrate human anatomy and pathology affecting internal organs. Diagnostic Imaging is an introductory textbook that provides a balanced account of all the imaging modalities available to the practising clinician, explaining the techniques used and the indications for their use.The beautifully written text is organised by body system and covers all anatomical regions. Under each region, the authors discuss the imaging techniques available for that region and give guidelines for interpreting normal images. They then discuss the common diseases and signs that can be seen using each modality, illustrating these clinical problems with normal and abnormal images. In this new edition there is coverage of plain film, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide imaging and interventional radiology. The book is extensively illustrated throughout with high quality illustrations and images, with an additional plate section for colour doppler images.The aim of the book is to help the reader understand the principles of interpretation of all forms of imaging. It is therefore an ideal text for medical students, junior doctors, and practising clinicians..

From the Back Cover:

The best-selling textbook provides a balanced account of radiology for the discerning medical student and trainees for higher examinations in medicine, surgery and anaesthesia. It will also appeal to radiology trainees who are beginning their training.

The chapter are, in general, divided into two sections: the first looks at the normal and discusses the signs and differential diagnosis of disease which the second section describes the findings in specific disorders. Reflecting the greater use of the newer imaging disorders. Reflecting the greater use of the newer imaging modalities and interventional radiology, this edition has been extensively revised but retains the appropriate emphasis on the imaging techniques with conventional X-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Over 800 photographs and plentiful accompanying diagrams illustrate the key features of the important dignoses and facilitate a clear understanding of image interpretation.
