Gain the pathology knowledge you need to produce quality radiographic images! A fully illustrated, easy-to-follow guide, Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology, 8th Edition describes the pathologies that can be diagnosed with medical imaging. The book provides an understanding of the principles of pathology and explains how to recognize the radiographic appearance of specific diseases and conditions. By mastering the suggested imaging techniques, you will produce the high-resolution images that lead to accurate diagnoses. Written by Ronald L. Eisenberg, an experienced radiologist and educator, this book will help you become a more competent professional and a valued contributor to the diagnostic team.
