Help your students interpret diagnostic images accurately! Covering the principles of diagnostic radiology and ultrasonography, this guide includes clear, complete instruction in image interpretation. It illustrates the normal anatomy of body systems, and then uses numbered points to describe radiologic signs of abnormalities. It also includes descriptions of the ultrasonographic appearance of many conditions. Updated with the latest on digital imaging, CT, MR, and nuclear medicine, and showing how to avoid common errors in interpretation, this book is exactly what students need to develop their diagnostic and treatment planning skills.
