Long description
Designed for busy medical students, "The Radiology Handbook" is a quick and easy reference for any practitioner who needs information on ordering or interpreting images. The book is divided into three parts: Part I presents a table, organized from head to toe, with recommended imaging tests for common clinical conditions; Part II is organized in a question and answer format that covers the following topics: how each major imaging modality works to create an image; what the basic precepts of image interpretation in each body system are; and where to find information and resources for continued learning; and, Part III is an imaging quiz beginning at the head and ending at the foot. Sixty images are provided to self-test knowledge about normal imaging anatomy and common imaging pathology. Published in collaboration with the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, "The Radiology Handbook" is a convenient pocket-sized resource designed for medical students and nonradiologists.
