Description
Book SynopsisThis book helps readers understand the principles of interpretation of all forms of imaging. It is an introductory textbook that provides a balanced account of all the imaging modalities available to the practicing clinician, explaining the techniques used and the indications for their use.
Trade Review“Overall, this is a useful introduction to radiology for medical students and interns. It is helpful to have one reference for a number of modalities for various types of organ imaging and for many different medical conditions, although it does underemphasize the value of radionuclide techniques.” (Doody’s, 16 August 2013)
