Grainger & Allison's Diagnostic Radiology, 2 vol. set

Long recognised as the standard general reference work providing a complete overview of contemporary radiological practice, this new edition of Grainger and Allison’s Diagnostic Radiology is now published in 2 volumes. It offers a succinct but comprehensive account of all currently available imaging modalities and their clinical applications. Totally re-written, the book covers all of the areas that a trainee radiologist needs to master and provides the practising radiologist with a compact overview of the current “state of play” of imaging procedures. Organised along an organ and systems basis, this resource covers all diagnostic and interventional imaging modalities in an integrated, correlative fashion. The text is enhanced and clarified throughout by approx. 4,000 high quality illustrations.

Features

* Provides a succinct, comprehensive account of the entire spectrum of imaging modalities and their clinical applications so you can master the field and prepare for certification or recertification.
* Offers summaries of interventional techniques rather than step-by-step instructions on the procedures themselves, thus giving you more relevant information you can use in daily practice.
* Uses nearly 4,000 outstanding illustrations creating a visual guide to help you solve even your toughest diagnostic problems.


What's New

* Presents a more streamlined approach to include only the information you need for daily practice and for exam preparation.
* Includes chapter summaries for quick answers to clinical questions.
