Publisher's Synopsis
The new second edition of this comprehensive textbook has been completely revised and updated. With the inclusion of musculoskeletal trauma, paediatric, obstetric and gynaecological radiology, all body systems are covered. Not only has the text been expanded, there are also more than 300 illustrations in this edition, including a four–page full–colour centrepiece.
In many clinical situations today, choosing the appropriate diagnostic test from the many alternatives now available can pose problems. This book addresses these questions and is clinically oriented to medical students, general practitioners and other health professionals. The role of radiology is defined, the various imaging modalities described, and for a wide range of clinical problems a diagnostic protocol is recommended. Radiological abnormalities are illustrated and differential diagnosis discussed. The newer applications of computed tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance and interventional radiology are also covered.
