Book Description

1405102306 978-1405102308 August 2, 2004 5
There is now a vast array of imaging modalities available for diagnostic use. Junior doctors are now faced with a range of complex and sophisticated imaging techniques – radioisotopes, ultrasound, CT and MRI are all used to demonstrate human anatomy and pathology affecting internal organs. Diagnostic Imaging is an introductory textbook that provides a balanced account of all the imaging modalities available to the practising clinician, explaining the techniques used and the indications for their use.


The beautifully written text is organised by body system and covers all anatomical regions. Under each region, the authors discuss the imaging techniques available for that region and give guidelines for interpreting normal images. They then discuss the common diseases and signs that can be seen using each modality, illustrating these clinical problems with normal and abnormal images. In this new edition there is coverage of plain film, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide imaging and interventional radiology. The book is extensively illustrated throughout with high quality illustrations and images, with an additional plate section for colour doppler images.


The aim of the book is to help the reader understand the principles of interpretation of all forms of imaging. It is therefore an ideal text for medical students, junior doctors, and practising clinicians.



Editorial Reviews

Review

"The comprehensiveness of the book and its price make its acquisition worthwhile for all trainees and young radiologists who want a quick and easy reference to major textbooks."
European Radiology

"...this beautifully presented hardback book guides one through the diagnostic maze, from basic plain films through to high technology digital reformatted images.
It has been a delight to review and I highly recommend that a copy is purchased for medical and departmental libraries."
RAD Magazine

"Written in an easy to read, yet concise style, Diagnostic Imaging covers not only the principles of interpretation of plain films and other imaging methods, but also attempts in its introduction to provide the reader with an understanding of the principles and techniques of diagnostic imaging and its uses...the book is excellent as a reference resouce for students."
Barts and The London


“Radiology is now such a wide and complex specialty that it is a major feat to pack so much information into 400 pages. The book offers chapters on every organ system and anatomical region. The drawings and radiographs are excellent and very well annotated. The text is concise, clear and never tedious making good use of lists and brief notes.”
British Journal of Hospital Medicine

4.0 out of 5 stars an excellent book for medical students, April 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Diagnostic Imaging (Hardcover)
A very concise book for every medical student who is beginning to touch the imaging field. Thought only 460 pages, it covers every organ system with emphasis on key features of important diseases. There is plenty of photographs with good diagrams. The text is concise and easy to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have, February 20, 2001
This review is from: Diagnostic Imaging (Hardcover)
This book is ultimately suitable for beginners and primary medical students. Each film has a brief explanation for its cause and clinical features. More, I like to recomend Primer of Diagnostic Imaging, by Ralph Weissleder, Mark J. Rieumont, Jack Wittenberg, to didicated students who are particularly interested in this field.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Diagnostic Imaging (Hardcover)
Best all-around source of imaging info that I've seen - and I've seen 'em all. BUY IT - but avoid the paperback version which tends to fall apart quickly...
