Description
Elsevier Health Sciences Mosbys Atlas And Text Of Clinical Imaging by Jamie Weir ,Alison D. Murray
Much of the diagnostic information available in clinical practice is obtained from radiographic, CT, and MR images. These imaging techniques reveal individual structures and their pathology in very different ways, making a thorough knowledge of normal and pathological radiographic anatomy essential to medical students, radiographers, radiologists, and radiologic technologists. The current emphasis on clinical relevance in medical teaching makes a thorough knowledge of imaging modalities and their interpretation increasingly important. Mosby's Atlas and Text of Clinical Imaging will be an invaluable companion text to the Weir and Abrahams' Imaging Atlas of Human Anatomy, presenting the core knowledge of diagnostic imaging in a clear, accessible, attractive style with a strong focus on clinical relevance and pathology. The book is designed to be as accessible as possible to medical students. The text is concise, and chapters are organized by system with all the 'boring bits' - radiation physics and general radiological principles - confined to the appendix. The chapters follow a consistent organization, moving from congenital through to acquired pathology.
Over 650 images illustrate the presentation of disease through MR, CT, plain radiographs, and ultra-sound. The images are scanned direct from radiographic film, ensuring the highest quality of reproduction. Mosby's Atlas and Text of Clinical Imaging covers all of the common and some rarer disorders through the various imaging modalities, explains the common symptoms and signs, and highlights the key radiographic features in a concise, aetiologically organized, and accessible book.
