Description:
This is a succinct single-volume work covering the whole field of
diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology that gives basic
radiological knowledge required in the initial stages of training.
The greater use of imaging by clinicians, the introduction of new
imaging modalities and the wide acceptance of interventional
radiology has greatly increased the scope and importance of radiology.
Each chapter describes the use of various imaging modalities and then
gives an account of the radiological changes in disease enumerating
the likely diagnosis and signs rather than producing encyclopaedic
lists. The important role of interventional radiology is brought to
the fore.
It is not possible in a book this size to give details of the
pathological aspects of the various conditions nor to discuss patient
management. The aim is to give the trainee radiologist and the
interested clinician an introduction to the wide field of radiology.
The most appropriate imaging modalities are suggested together with
the indications for interventional procedures.
Chapters incorporate those medical conditions appropriate for
radiology trainees as well as a list of approximately 10-15 review
articles or relevant books are included for further reading at the
end of each chapter. This enables the student to obtain in-depth
information that is beyond the scope of the book.
Key Features:
* Highly regarded contributors and internationally-respected editors
* Superior design with high-quality images
* Colour plate section
* Covers the syllabus for postgraduate examinations
