Description
This text is an updated and revised edition which provides comprehensive coverage of the field of organ imaging. Intended for those in postgraduate radiology training, particularly the radiological resident or registrar preparing for the professional examinations of the American Boards, The Royal College of Radiologists or other examining bodies, it is also designed for the working bench in the reporting (reading) room and should serve as a reference text for the consultant radiologist. Used increasingly as a basis for exam questions, this text covers the subject of organ imaging up to and beyond the FRCR and American boards and provides increased integration and coverage of the newer modalities, particularly MRI. There are 18 new chapters in this edition and every chapter remaining from the first edition has been updated. The text contains a new section on multi-system disorders such as oncology and opportunistic infections including AIDS and HIV infection. It is illustrated with radiographs and images which include many new CT, MRI and ultrasound scans.
MRI is dealt with in detail and there are new separate chapters on its application in the musculo-skeletal system, the female pelvis and the heart, as well as a redrafted chapter on the principles of the technique. MRI is also integrated with other imaging modalities, especially in the CNS chapters which have been largely rewritten and in a new chapter comparing its value in the abdomen with computed tomography and ultrasound.
