This second edition has been fully updated to provide radiologists with all the recent technological advances in diagnostic radiology.
Divided into six sections, it covers all the key aspects of the imaging – ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radiography and interventional radiography, and contrast media.
The final section discusses miscellaneous topics including evidence based radiology, radiation protection, molecular imaging, planning a modern imaging department, and common drugs used. A separate chapter is dedicated to picture archiving and data management.
This comprehensive new edition includes nearly 600 full colour radiological images and illustrations.
