Imaging Anatomical Variants
Description
This is a well-curated pictorial presentation of common anatomical variants that radiologists encounter in their day to day clinical practice organised by body system. Each variant is accompanied by images from multiple modalities including plain radiography, fluoroscopy, digital subtraction angiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging where relevant. The images are clearly labelled and annotated with a brief text description to provide context and tips to avoid common pitfalls in clinical practice. Whilst targeted at radiology trainees preparing to sit for the First FRCR Anatomy examination, the book will also serve as a ready-reckoner for practising radiologists and clinicians from other specialities who review imaging.
