Addressing the basic concepts of radiological physics and radiation protection, together with a structured approach to image interpretation, Radiology at a Glance is the perfect guide for medical students, junior doctors and radiologists.
Covering the radiology of plain films, fluoroscopy, CT, MRI, intervention, nuclear medicine, and mammography, this edition has been fully updated to reflect advances in the field and now contains new spreads on cardiac, breast and bowel imaging, as well as further information on interventional radiology.
Radiology at a Glance:
Assumes no prior knowledge of radiology
Addresses both theory and clinical practice through theoretical and case-based chapters
Provides structured help in assessing which radiological procedures are most appropriate for specific clinical problems
Includes increased image clarity
Supported by 'classic cases' chapters in each section, and presented in a clear and concise format, Radiology at a Glance is easily accessible whether on the ward or as a quick revision guide.
