| Summary |
Diagnostic Imaging will help medical students, junior doctors, residents and trainee radiologists understand the principles behind interpreting all forms of imaging. Providing a balanced account of all the imaging modalities available - including plain film, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide imaging and interventional radiology - it explains the techniques used and the indications for their use. Organised by body system, it covers all anatomical regions. In each region the authors discuss the most suitable imaging technique and provide gu |
