Fundamentals of Radiology

Published on the 100th anniversary of Roentgen's discovery of x-rays, this edition contains updated and expanded coverage which reflects the ongoing revolution in the variety and uses of radiographic imaging techniques. To aid the explication of concepts and procedures, computed tomography and magnetic-resonance images - many new to this edition - are provided. New chapters cover topics including: cross-sectional images, allowing the reader to review normal radiographic anatomy; vascular imaging, including vascular ultrasound, 3-D computed tomography and MR angiography; interventional radiology, covering therapeutic procedures performed by diagnostic radiologists; and imaging conditions specific to each gender, including breast, obstetric, gynecological, testicular and urethral disorders.
