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 SynopsisThis book gets to the heart of what radiology is and what radiologists do. As a relatively young speciality, there is no guide for radiologists to act as a moral compass. Until now, that is. You will not find any dry technical matters in here. You will not find any clues about how to interpret images better. This book details the ‘other 50%’: the rest of the working week when a radiologist is not reading scans or performing procedures. The essence of radiology is distilled and offered up to the reader. If you want a comfortable read that offers bland reassurances, look elsewhere. If you want a book that questions everything and discusses uncomfortable truths, this is the book for you. Each of the Rules addresses an important part of professional practice. This book is a manifesto for all radiologists across the globe to raise their game, to be more effective and to serve their patients better. Trade Review“The book will inevitably appeal mainly to radiologists and their trainees, or to people who have a spouse, partner or child who is aspires to become one. All the same, there is at least one good reason GPs might be interested in it – apart from its arresting style of writing and sense of humour.” (John Launer, bjgplife.com, December 21, 2021)“McCoubrie has managed to channel this compulsion into the production of a readable, witty tome with pearls of wisdom gleaned from years of experience, a tome that would be profitably read by us all.” (Arpan Banerjee, RAD Magazine, July, 2021)“This book deals with the pressures and challenges of work, not only the work that we, various specialists, carry out but the more complex business of working in teams, personal relations, and group dynamics. A very good read for many reasons and one that can give us a new perspective.” (Eric Watts, The Association of Clinical Pathologists, ACP news, April, 2021)“It looks at many complex aspects of radiology practice, analyzes the reasons why these can be troubling or successful, and it advises on how we should approach them. Many years ago, when I worked on another continent, a colleague suggested that a copy of the radiology billing codes should be kept in the smallest room of the house … . This book is much more appropriate reading in that location -- and much more fun.” (Adrian Brady, AuntminnieEurope.com, March 25, 2021)Table of ContentsRule #1 / / Obey the Rules.- Rule #2 / / Smile .- Rule #3 / / Keep your cool.- Rule #4 / / Work hard.- Rule #5 / / Toughen Up.- Rule #6 / / Respect the machines.- Rule #7 / / Never let a clinician play radiologist .- Rule #8 / / Forgive the sins of the clinician.- Rule #9 / / Don’t be too approachable.- Rule #10 / / Be a good colleague.- Rule #11 / / Never measure anything.- Rule #12 / / Never count anything.- Rule #13 / / The default is to say ‘yes’.- Rule #14 / / Agitation is not an indication.- Rule #15 / / Always help the patient.- Rule #16 / / Be damned careful when saying an outright ‘no’.- Rule #17 / / Don’t study surrogates.- Rule #18 / / Avoid ‘interesting’ cases.- Rule #19 / / Beware the ‘fit 90 year old’.- Rule #20 / / Counteract misjudgement.- Rule #21 / / There is no such thing as a radiological emergency.- Rule #22 / / If you feel resistance, stop pushing.- Rule #23 / / Use words carefully.- Rule #24 / / Brevity is king.- Rule #25 / / Ditch the stethoscope.- Rule #26 / / CT is easy.- Rule #27 / / Don’t answer the phone.- Rule #28 / / Stay safe the easy way.- Rule #29 / / Get off the fence.- Rule #30 / / Don’t pick fights.- Rule #31 / / Beware the ‘good’ case.- Rule #32 / / Don’t fret about complications.- Rule #33 / / We are not the business of exclusion.- Rule #34 / / Trust your clinical instincts.- Rule #35 / / If you have to fail, fail safely.- Rule #36 / / Take clinical details with a pinch of salt.- Rule #37 / / Don’t crap on juniors.- Rule #38 / / Aggressive clinicians need your help.- Rule #39 / / Know loads.- Rule #40 / / Never offer to eat your pants.- Rule #41 / / Radiologists don't wear suede shoes.-Rule #42 / / Never investigate on the day of discharge.- Rule #43 / / Only give clinicians 15 seconds.- Rule #44 / / You can never know too much anatomy.-Rule #45 / / Be careful with "limited" or "quick" studies.- Rule #46 / / Image quality is up to the radiologist.- Rule #47 / / It is never a chordoma.- Rule #48 / / Reporting rooms should be pitch black.- Rule #49 / / Don't touch the screens.- Rule #50 / / Error is inherent to radiology.

This book is much more appropriate reading in that location -- and much more fun.” (Adrian Brady, AuntminnieEurope.com, March 25, 2021)Table of ContentsRule #1 / / Obey the Rules.- Rule #2 / / Smile .- Rule #3 / / Keep your cool.- Rule #4 / / Work hard.- Rule #5 / / Toughen Up.- Rule #6 / / Respect the machines.- Rule #7 / / Never let a clinician play radiologist .- Rule #8 / / Forgive the sins of the clinician.- Rule #9 / / Don’t be too approachable.- Rule #10 / / Be a good colleague.- Rule #11 / / Never measure anything.- Rule #12 / / Never count anything.- Rule #13 / / The default is to say ‘yes’.- Rule #14 / / Agitation is not an indication.- Rule #15 / / Always help the patient.- Rule #16 / / Be damned careful when saying an outright ‘no’.- Rule #17 / / Don’t study surrogates.- Rule #18 / / Avoid ‘interesting’ cases.- Rule #19 / / Beware the ‘fit 90 year old’.- Rule #20 / / Counteract misjudgement.- Rule #21 / / There is no such thing as a radiological emergency.- Rule #22 / / If you feel resistance, stop pushing.- Rule #23 / / Use words carefully.- Rule #24 / / Brevity is king.- Rule #25 / / Ditch the stethoscope.- Rule #26 / / CT is easy.- Rule #27 / / Don’t answer the phone.- Rule #28 / / Stay safe the easy way.- Rule #29 / / Get off the fence.- Rule #30 / / Don’t pick fights.- Rule #31 / / Beware the ‘good’ case.- Rule #32 / / Don’t fret about complications.- Rule #33 / / We are not the business of exclusion.- Rule #34 / / Trust your clinical instincts.- Rule #35 / / If you have to fail, fail safely.- Rule #36 / / Take clinical details with a pinch of salt.- Rule #37 / / Don’t crap on juniors.- Rule #38 / / Aggressive clinicians need your help.- Rule #39 / / Know loads.- Rule #40 / / Never offer to eat your pants.- Rule #41 / / Radiologists don't wear suede shoes.-Rule #42 / / Never investigate on the day of discharge.- Rule #43 / / Only give clinicians 15 seconds.- Rule #44 / / You can never know too much anatomy.-Rule #45 / / Be careful with "limited" or "quick" studies.- Rule #46 / / Image quality is up to the radiologist.- Rule #47 / / It is never a chordoma.- Rule #48 / / Reporting rooms should be pitch black.- Rule #49 / / Don't touch the screens.- Rule #50 / / Error is inherent to radiology.

Book SynopsisMathematical modelling is an important part of nuclear medicine. Therefore, several chapters of this book have been dedicated towards describing this topic. In these chapters, an emphasis has been put on describing the mathematical modelling of the radiation transport of photons and electrons, as well as on the transportation of radiopharmaceuticals between different organs and compartments. It also includes computer models of patient dosimetry. Two chapters of this book are devoted towards introducing the concept of biostatistics and radiobiology. These chapters are followed by chapters detailing dosimetry procedures commonly used in the context of diagnostic imaging, as well as patient-specific dosimetry for radiotherapy treatments. For safety reasons, many of the methods used in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are tightly regulated. Therefore, this volume also highlights the basic principles for radiation protection. It discusses the process of how guidelines and re
