Textbook of Radiology and Imaging

Temporar INDISPONIBIL.

Long recognised as the standard two volume reference work on the scientific basis and clinical practice of radiology, the new edition of Textbook of Radiology and Imaging has been thoroughly revised and up-dated in order to incorporate the latest technologies and modalities in the field. This book provides the radiologist in training and in practice with a concise, clearly written overview of the applications of the full spectrum of imaging modalities used in daily clinical practice. The book is organised by body system and incorporates an integrated, multi-modality approach to radiological diagnosis. Throughout, the emphasis is on the clinical effectiveness of contemporary imaging practice and the text is supported with abundant high-quality illustrations.

Reviews

Reviews of Previous Editions

"the text should become the gold standard against which all others are measured." JAMA"

"a standard textbook in preparation for the Final Fellowship examination and an authoritative source of reference"

British Journal of Radiology

"the text is succient and very accessible...this book is still an excellent introduction to imaging... Trainees in clinical specialities will find it useful for obtaining good grounding in imaging" British Journal of Hospital Medicine

"Appropriate for beginning residents, advanced fellows, and established general radiologists. It would make an excellent reference textbook, and it should find a place in the library of any busy imaging center or hospital." - Radiology

Features

* * Comprehensive overview of contemporary radiological practice - covers all the areas that a trainee needs to master and all areas which a general radiologist practices on a day-to-day basis.

* Emphasises a multi-modality approach to diagnosis and includes coverage of traditional as well as state-of-the-art imaging modalities. Keeps the reader up-to-date on areas on which they are not expert.

* Abundant illustrations (almost 5,000 radiological images as well as many graphs and tables) clarify and enhance the text whenever appropriate.

* Very tightly edited text by David Sutton ensures that the chapters are uniform and consistent in quality. Reads like a single-authored book with a clear narrative style.

* Highly selective and current list of references to quickly direct the reader to further investigations.

What's New

* * Increased coverage of mammography, radiological imaging of trauma, transplantation and oncology.

* Highlights the latest technical advances in CT, MR Ultrasound, and Radionuclide agents and, more importantly, their clinical applications.

* All chapters thoroughly revised in order to delete obsolete and out-dated imaging techniques and modalities.

* Approximately 30% of the illustrations are brand new - increased to 5600

* Techniques descirbed separately and in an integrated manner
