- Summary:
- As cross-sectional imaging techniques are now integral to modern clinical practice, so it is essential for practitioners to be fully equipped in their interpretation.
- While Cross-sectional Diagnostic Imaging is specifically aimed at candidates taking their higher examinations in clinical medicine, it is also an invaluable aid to those specializing in or wishing to become more familiar with the results of computed tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound and nuclear medicine isotope imaging.
- This book takes the premise that there are two key elements in the successful interpretation of cross-sectional imaging sections: (1) thorough familiarity with the normal appearance, so that any abnormality can be immediately recognized and normal structures are not misinterpreted as pathology, and (2) pattern recognition.
- The first part of the book takes the reader through a rigorous review of normal anatomy, followed in the second part by examination question-and-answer scenarios designed to give exposure to a wide range of cases.
- With over 350 annotated images, Cross-sectional Diagnostic Imaging offers its readers practical and pragmatic guidance from the collected knowledge of two highly experienced clinical radiologists.
