Getting Started in Radiology teaches radiology in a way that mimics a lively setting on the wards. If you want to have fun while learning the theoretical basis of imaging and the interpretation of radiographs and other modalities in the context of clinical examination and findings, then this is the book for you. The basics of imaging are described using analogies from daily life to make them as understandable and memorable as possible. The material of radiology is described using actual cases; the most common differential diagnoses are presented. A great amount of image material supports the learning process.
A storyline runs through the book: four students in their final year of medical school are involved in active discussion of the cases, so that the reader also feels a part of the diagnostic process.
Features:
1,035 high-resolution radiographs complement cases to provide readers with clinical context
In-depth discussion on how and when to use different imaging modalities
Practical information on the most common and important differential diagnoses
Tips on how to recognize normal and abnormal findings
