Condition: New

Diagnostic radiology plays a vital role in patient management and all clinicians need to be able to recognise the radiological appearances of many medical conditions. Not only are traditional imaging techniques important, but newer techniques such as interventional radiology, computed tomography (C.T.), magnetic resonance imaging (M.R.I.), nuclear medicine and ultrasound are increasingly important in clinical practice and also, the interpretation of radiological images is an integral part of professional examinations for M.R.C.P. (part II): there are five compulsory questions based on printed photographic material, with additional radiographs or other diagnostic images being shown occasionally throughout. This book will cover all modalities in radiology, providing a guide to the principles of plain radiographic film interpretation and an understanding of the roles and limitations of more complex imaging across general medicine. The material is presented through the discussion of a hundred fully-illustrated cases in question and answer format.
