Long description
This Illustrated Colour Text brings radiology alive for medical students as a meaningful specialty with a central role in the diagnosis and/or treatment of many patients. Rather than attempting to teach the reader to be a would-be radiologist, it will give readers a feel for what radiological test to order in various circumstances, what the clinician needs to know to get the best out of the radiology department, how to read and interpret the resultant radiology reports and what interventional radiology has to offer from the point of view of either obtaining a diagnosis or treatment.
