For twenty years, Dr. William Herring’s Learning Radiology: Recognizing the Basics has been the preferred text for medical students and others who are required to read and interpret common radiologic images. This fully revised 6th Edition remains an ideal resource for learning how to differentiate normal and abnormal images of all modalities, offering complete, introductory coverage of everything from the basics of patient safety, dose reduction, and radiation protection to the latest information on artificial intelligence, ultrasound, MRI, and CT. It retains all of the features that readers appreciate most: an easy-to-follow, pattern recognition approach, numerous illustrations, bulleted format, useful tables and teaching boxes, and Dr. Herring’s clear, conversational writing style—with a touch of humor—that explains exactly what today’s students need to know.

Key Features
- Teaches how to arrive at a diagnosis by following a pattern recognition approach, and logically overcome difficult diagnostic challenges with the aid of decision trees
- Employs an easy-to-read, bullet-point format, including bolded key points and icons designating special content: Diagnostic Pitfalls, Really Important Points, Take-Home Points, and newly added Artificial Intelligence
- Features more than 950 figures, useful tables, case study questions, and teaching boxes throughout
- Contains an updated chapter on artificial intelligence in radiology
- Shares the extensive knowledge and experience of esteemed author Dr. William Herring, a skilled radiology teacher and the host of his own specialty website, www.learningradiology.com
- Offers quick review and instruction for medical students, residents, and fellows, as well as those in related fields such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants
- Provides access to exclusive bonus content online, including appendices covering the Discovery of X-rays, Diagnostic Radiology Signs, and What to Order When; USMLE-style questions and answers; videos; and more
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows access to all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
