Diagnostic Imaging will help medical students, junior
doctors, residents and trainee radiologists understand the
principles behind interpreting all forms of imaging. Providing a
balanced account of all the imaging modalities available –
including plain film, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic
resonance imaging, radionuclide imaging and interventional
radiology – it explains the techniques used and the
indications for their use.
Organised by body system, it covers all anatomical regions. In
each region the authors discuss the most suitable imaging technique
and provide guidelines for interpretation, illustrating clinical
problems with normal and abnormal images.
Diagnostic Imaging is extensively illustrated throughout,
featuring high quality full-colour images and more than 600
photographs. The images are downloadable in Power Point format from
the brand new companion website at href=’http://www.wileydiagnosticimaging.com/’>www.wileydiagnosticimaging.com,
which also has over 100 interactive MCQs, to aid learning and
