Description
Essentials of Radiology provides a comprehensive guide to radiological imaging studies, covering the basics of how to approach, read, and interpret images. With concise explanations and an engaging writing style, this user-friendly reference is ideal for radiology residents, medical students, and anyone who orders or reads radiology imaging studies.
Featuring thorough updates from cover to cover, this resource covers fundamental information on common indications for radiologic studies and their interpretation, as well as recent advances in the field. It includes over 1,000 radiographic images, many in comparative panels of normal, abnormal, or correlative findings, to facilitate quick identification and referral.
New information throughout includes updates on digital breast tomosynthesis, PET/CT, new screening guidelines for colon, breast, prostate, and lung cancer, and quality and safety standards. The book also addresses the use of intermediate and advanced imaging technology, including CT, MR, and PET/CT, alongside an emphasis on commonly used modalities such as ultrasound and plain film.
