Long recognised as the standard two volume reference work on the scientific basis and clinical practice of radiology, the new edition of Textbook of Radiology and Imaging has been thoroughly revised and up-dated in order to incorporate the latest technologies and modalities in the field. This book provides the radiologist in training and in practice with a concise, clearly written overview of the applications of the full spectrum of imaging modalities used in daily clinical practice. The book is organised by body system and incorporates an integrated, multi-modality approach to radiological diagnosis. Throughout, the emphasis is on the clinical effectiveness of contemporary imaging practice and the text is supported with abundant high-quality illustrations.

What's New

Increased coverage of mammography, radiological imaging of trauma, transplantation and oncology.
Highlights the latest technical advances in CT, MR Ultrasound, and Radionuclide agents and, more importantly, their clinical applications.
All chapters thoroughly revised in order to delete obsolete and out-dated imaging techniques and modalities.
Approximately 30% of the illustrations are brand new - increased to 5600
Techniques descirbed separately and in an integrated manner.
