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.
