Book SynopsisTrade Review"Here is a book which compiles the most accurate data on bone age in an extremely useful form, so that the practicing clinician, pediatrician, general practitioner, internist, or radiologist may find data quickly and accurately. . . . This book represents a tremendous amount of work, a study of over 1,000 individuals, with from two to twenty films each, in an effort to find an acceptable series of standards. . . . This book should be in te possession of all those who expect to interpret skeletal age from films or assess the patient from that clinical point of view."—Stanford Medical Bulletin"To pediatrician, radiologist and all those responsible for the physical care of the child, this Atlas is essential. Text and illustration are of the highest standards, and the work will long remain the classic in the field."—The United States Quarterly Book Review"The plates and illustrations are clear and the book is a beautiful example of the art of fine printing. It is a most valuable and a most welcome text that should be of great use to the pediatrician and should be available in every pediatric clinic and children's hospital."—The Journal of Pediatrics"The publication of this atlas marks an important step toward integrating concepts of growth and development into the practice of clinical medicine. From the work of child development centers throughout the country, it has become established that the process of skeletal development is the most significant available measure of physical maturation. It is closely related to the reproductive and total somatic growth and is of great clinical value, especially when considered in relation to chronological age. . . . The excellence of the volume lies in the clarity of its directions and in the choice of standards, many of which are taken from a successive series on the same children. There is thus very little difficulty in matching an unknown x-ray to its correct age peer."—California Medicine" . . . [This] atlas will prove invaluable to those interested in the problems of growth retardation or abnormal advancement."—Annals of Western Medicine and Surgery"The publishing is excellent and the atlas should be in all anatomic, radiologic and orthopedic collections."—The New England Journal of Medicine"The amount of work, energy and imagination that culminated in the preparation of this book is tremendous. Such a study supplies information not available by other means. . . . The book is beautifully prepared. The reproductions of the roentgenograms are the same size as the original films. They are exceptionally clear so that the detailed alterations are readily detected. This is the type of book that supplies original information which will increase in value with the years."—Archives of Physical Medicine"This new book on the hand and wrist is very enlightening. . . . We recommend it to all radiologists, pediatricians, and endocrinologists who are trying to do good work and wish to improve their diagnoses."—The American Journal of Roentgenology and Radium Therapy"This splendid atlas will be indispensable to pediatricians, anatomists, physical anthropologists, and coroners."—Quarterly Review of Biology“Although this volume will probably appeal particularly to clinical workers in fields of child development it will be very useful as a reference for the anatomist who may be called in consultation. It will also be valuable for the student in anatomy who wishes to observe the progress of ossification of the bones of the wrist and hand.”—The Anatomical Record

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis is a small, soft-backed, pocket book of just over 160 pages. Its aim is to provide a quick entry into the subject and act as an aide memoir for those faced with assessing a patient with ultrasound in an acute situation. Simple drawings are used to show probe position and example ultrasound images are provided. These images are taken from the type of relatively cheap portable ultrasound machine that is likely to be present in the emergency department. There are useful tips and handy hints on how to answer the binary question posed. Importantly, the book tells the reader what ultrasound can and cannot tell you in each scenario, and goes onto say what to do next. The book has well-structured headings enabling easy reference. It has a friendly style and is not in the least intimidating. I would encourage radiologists to make sure that those using ultrasound in this way are taught appropriate skills and know their limitations. This book is a good place for them to start. I like the final quote given, "a fool with a stethoscope will still be a fool with an ultrasound". I strongly urge each practitioner to buy a copy. Clinical Radiology Journal This is a very succinct, well-illustrated book, which is sharply clinically focused, and would be of considerable use to those who work in the emergency department and have an interest in adding diagnostic ultrasound to their clinical skills. Medical Journal of New Zealand This text provides an excellent introduction to most of the emergency applications for bedside ultrasound. It provides a practical, focused look at the role of bedside ultrasound for non-radiologists. Anaesthesia and Intensive Care In spite of the disappearance of white coats from British hospital wards, there remains a role for the pocket-sized book. This one achieves what the title claims. Having assumed that the reader has no practical experience of ultrasound scanning, it provides a concise and clear approach to emergency ultrasonography for the non-radiologist. The authors stress its roles and limitations, principally by stating in a didactic manner the questions it can or cannot answer. Although a multiauthor book, the editors have set out each chapter in the same way, supported by excellent drawings and ultrasound images. For the enthusiastic accident and emergency doctor or surgical resident with access to an appropriate ultrasound machine, this book should be invaluable. British Journal of Surgery

Book SynopsisFeaturing a practical, clinical approach, this title helps you build a foundation in chest x-ray interpretation. It presents fundamental principles and key anatomical concepts. It walks you through examples of chest x-ray features that provide evidence of abnormality. It explores a variety of problems and dilemmas common to clinical practice.Trade ReviewThis small inexpensive paperback is intended to be a convenient and informative, white coat pocket guide. It fulfils this aim admirably and I much enjoyed reading it. The book derives from the radiology "Red Dot” teaching course. I am certainly going to recommend this book for personal purchase by those of our trainee radiologists who are unable to attend the course, and I will frequently refer to my own review copy when teaching plain film chest radiographic interpretation. Rad Magazine Review, January 2009 The radiology trainee faced with the task of independently reporting chest radiographs will find this book invaluable. It is an eminently readable volume serving both as a comprehensive introduction to, and a handy pocket sized reference on radiology investigation. The Royal College of Radiologists, 2008 "The radiographs are surprisingly clear and the diagrams are excellent - illustrating points that are sometimes difficult to visualise...This book successfully shows that a topic can be made accessible without being oversimplified - and, in fact, that explanation of the nuances can often make the topic 'easier' still. Well done to the authors" BMA Book Awards 2009 - judges comments

Book SynopsisIn recent years, sonography of the peripheral nervous system has gained widespread acceptance. New diagnostic applications have emerged, and the field of ultrasound-guided interventions has expanded significantly: regional anesthesia, peripheral nerve blocks, and similar techniques are now frequently performed under ultrasound guidance by anesthesiologists and pain physicians alike. This atlas of peripheral nerve ultrasound is designed to meet the daily needs of both radiologists and clinicians by allowing rapid review of typical features, knowledge of which is important for successful diagnosis and intervention. The side by side presentation of ultrasound images with anatomical cryosections and photographs of transducer positions allows for reliable sonographic identification of even tiny nerves in regions of complex topography. The practical value of the atlas is further enhanced by correlations with high-resolution MRI scans. Table of ContentsIntroduction to High Resolution Sonography of the Peripheral Nervous System: General Considerations and Examination Technique.- Introduction to Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Peripheral Nervous System: General Considerations and Examination Technique.- Nerves in the Head and Neck.- Upper Extremity Nerves.- Lower Extremity Nerves.- Nerves in the Trunk and Abdominal Wall.

Book SynopsisRadiology has been transformed by new imaging advances and a greater demand for imaging, along with a much lower tolerance for error as part of the Quality & Safety revolution in healthcare. With a greater emphasis on patient safety and quality in imaging practice, imaging specialists are increasingly charged with ensuring patient safety and demonstrating that everything done for patients in their care meets the highest quality and safety standards. This book offers practical guidance on understanding, creating, and implementing quality management programs in Radiology. Chapters are comprehensive, detailed, and organized into three sections: Core Concepts, Management Concepts, and Educational & Special Concepts. Discussions are applicable to all practice settings: community hospitals, private practice, academic radiology, and government/military practice, as well as to those preparing for the quality and safety questions on the American Board of Radiology''s Maintenance of CertificatiTrade ReviewQuality and Safety in Radiology is a very timely and well-planned book discussing the latest topics in an ever-increasingly important subsegment of radiology--quality and safety issues. In their excellent book, co-editors Hani H. Abujedeh and Michael A. Bruno discuss a variety of current topics that collectively comprise the arguably budding but important field of radiology quality and safety. The two editors--along with 47 nationally and internationally recognized experts--have created an up-to-date, easy-to-reference textbook covering a wide spectrum of quality and patient safety issues as they apply to diagnostic imaging. The goal of the authors was to create a reference text covering the essentials of quality and safety specifically geared to diagnostic radiology. The authors have brilliantly accomplished their goal with this well-organized and easy-to-read book. This excellent book is well priced; I highly recommend [it]. -Robert D.
