Book Description

ISBN-10: 0683023306 | ISBN-13: 978-0683023305 | Publication Date: December 1992

This is a textbook of diagnostic radiology for medical students, based on clinical problem-solving. The author stresses that knowledge of anatomy and observation of changes produced by disease enable one to identify the pathology process that produced those changes. His goal in this text is to show how the recognition of a radiographic pattern allows one to define the pathophysiological process producing that pattern. This is the "detective work" of diagnostic radiology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Radiology!, December 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Clinical Radiology: The Essentials (Paperback)

I truly recommend this book to every medical student, specially to those doing a rotation in Radiology. The book is marvelously illustrated with hundreds of big and clear photos of every diagnostic imaging modality currently used, showing the most important technical, anatomic and radiologic considerations one must have when ordering and evaluating an imaging study. The book is very clearly written, goes to the point and takes into account almost every clinical situation one is likely to encounter in practice. I could even say it's enjoyable.

This review is from: Clinical Radiology: The Essentials (Daffner, Clinical Radiology) (Paperback)

Being a radiologist, I thought I don't need this book but guess what? It is very helpful in a clinical point of view and serves as a good source of review.

4.0 out of 5 stars WELL-WRITTEN AND BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED, January 23, 2003

This review is from: Clinical Radiology: The Essentials (Paperback)

This well-written and beautifully illustrated textbook was designed for medical students. It is comprehensive: with each chapter sectioned into technical, anatomical and pathological sub-headings.
"Clinical Radiology: The Essentials" embraced all aspects of diagnostic and interventional imaging techniques currently in use. It is a general mini-reference text whose aim is to provide students with all the tutorials that they may need during revision.
Still, experienced radiologists would appreciate its concise outlook, which makes it an ideal memory-refreshing tool.
