This review is from: Stedman's Radiology Words (Paperback)

Stedman's "Radiology Words" is a stellar imaging word reference for the radiology transcriptionist. Being a full-time radiology transcriptionist and having used Stedman's second edition for many years with extremely favorable results, I can only state emphatically that this current edition has greatly improved by bringing the vastly burgeoning radiological terminology up to date. Imaging modalities have exponentially increased since the last Stedman's Radiology word reference [1995], and with it, the imaging vernacular has exploded. This third edition has accomplished its mission.

Many more diagnostic and interventional terms are at hand, as well as mammographic, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, ultrasonographic and neuroradiological terms. All, of course, are thoroughly cross-referenced.

Additionally, five handy appendices are added: 1) 19 pages of anatomical illustrations, the first 5 pages of which demonstrate anatomical planes/positions, 2) 4½ pages of various contrast media, 3) common radiological oncologic terms, 4) sample radiology reports [14, mind you] ranging from the simplest to nuclear medicine/MRI/CT, etc., and 5) common terms of procedures.

This nearly 1000-page imaging tome is the tops! I would strongly recommend this reference to anyone involved in imaging transcription.

This is not due to Seller, I just don't like the book. I am not a transcriptionist.
